Rajesh, you will get more help if you stay on the list. you do need u *sigma output. there is no substitute.
If this option is indeed no longer there, i have no knowledge of it. Maybe there was some work committed that screwed that but at the moment i have no time to look at it. Obviously it was there at the time documentation was written. I guess you may obtain an earlier snapshot as interim solution if it is indeed the case. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Rajesh Nikam" <[email protected]> Date: May 24, 2013 3:20 AM Subject: Re: convert input for SVD To: <[email protected]> Cc: > Hello Dmitriy, > > Thanks for reply. > > I see similar discussion on following link where I see your reply. > > http://www.searchworkings.org/forum/-/message_boards/view_message/517870#_19_message_519704 > > I do also have same problem, need to apply dimensionality reduction and use > clustering algo on reduced features. > > Seems parameters for ssvd are changed from mentioned in SSVD-CLI.pdf.
