Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-817:
------------------------------------
1 & 2 sound comprehensive to me. Option 1 (subtracting the mean from B) seems
like a great approach except that it seems to be focused on column or global
subtraction of means. If you want to subtract row means then working on Y
might be applicable. As you say, this requires a bit of thinking.

> Key: MAHOUT-817
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-817
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Reporter: Dmitriy Lyubimov
> Assignee: Dmitriy Lyubimov
> Fix For: 0.6
>
>
> It seems that a simple solution should exist to integrate PCA mean
> subtraction into SSVD algorithm without making it a pre-requisite step and
> also avoiding densifying the big input.
> Several approaches were suggested:
> 1) subtract mean off B
> 2) propagate mean vector deeper into algorithm algebraically where the data
> is already collapsed to smaller matrices
> 3) --?
> It needs some math done first . I'll take a stab at 1 and 2 but thoughts and
> math are welcome.
