Accurate and fast matrix factorization for low-rank learning
share
In this paper we tackle two important challenges related to the accurate partial singular value decomposition (SVD) and numerical rank estimation of a huge matrix to use in low-rank learning problems in a fast way. We use the concepts of Krylov subspaces such as the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization process as well as Ritz vectors to achieve these goals. Our experiments identify various advantages of the proposed methods compared to traditional and randomized SVD (R-SVD) methods with respect to the accuracy of the singular values and corresponding singular vectors computed in a similar execution time. The proposed methods are appropriate for applications involving huge matrices where accuracy in all spectrum of the desired singular values, and also all of corresponding singular vectors is essential. We evaluate our method in the real application of Riemannian similarity learning (RSL) between two various image datasets of MNIST and USPS.
