Hi all,

I'm trying to implement Latent Semantic Indexing using the mahout ssvd
tool, and I'm having trouble understanding how I can use the output of ssvd
Mahout to 'fold' new queries (documents) into the LSI space. Specifically,
I can't find a way to multiply a vector representing a query by the inverse
of the matrix of singular values - I can't find a way to solve for the
inverse of the diagonal matrix of singular values.

I can generate the output matrices using ssvd, and compare document/term
vectors using cosine similarity, but I'm stumped when it comes to folding a
new document into the space.

Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris
