Hi,

I'm new to hadoop, mahout, and language processing.
I'm trying to do LSA (Latent Semantic Analysis) in mahout.
I've made my own version of tf-idf matrix building (I know there's seqdirectory and seq2sparse, that can do it for me, but I needed some modifications). I've done 'mahout svd' and I've got output, but don't know how to interpret it.

According to books I've read SVD should return three matrices:
M = U * Epsilon * (Vt),

but 'mahout svd' return only one. I can't find any documentation. Which one does it return, is it U ?

Do I have to transpose my tf-idf matrix and compute SVD again to get second matrix ( V )?

Also I've found people using:
mahout cleansvd
what is it for? is there any good documentation?
