Global synchronization for multi-source data integration under blockwise missing patterns
This work introduces Global Synchronized Multiple Matrix Integration (GSMMI) to solve multi-source data integration problems where data blocks are missing across different sources. GSMMI formulates alignment as a global synchronization problem, aligning all overlapping submatrices simultaneously using all pairwise overlaps. This method outperforms existing methods like CMMI by exploiting richer overlap information and achieving better alignment accuracy.
