Shivaram Venkataraman commented on SPARK-7210:
----------------------------------------------
Sorry I think I misunderstood the JIRA title a little bit. I was commenting on
generating procedures for computing SVD of a matrix. I am not really sure what
the problem setting is inside the GMM.
> Test matrix decompositions for speed vs. numerical stability for Gaussians
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-7210
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7210
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: MLlib
> Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley
> Priority: Minor
>
> We currently use SVD for inverting the Gaussian's covariance matrix and
> computing the determinant. SVD is numerically stable but slow. We could
> experiment with Cholesky, etc. to figure out a better option, or a better
> option for certain settings.
