The document explores the tighter upper bound of the real log canonical threshold (RLCT) in non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and its implications for Bayesian inference. It highlights the improvements over previous bounds, the challenges with traditional statistical methods in hierarchical models, and the establishment of a learning theory for NMF. The research achieves a significant advancement by deriving an exact value for the RLCT in cases of rank 2 or less, suggesting tighter bounds for theoretical applications.
