Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Demystified

A comprehensive guide to SVD with Python examples

Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a powerful matrix factorization technique that decomposes a matrix into three other matrices, revealing important structural aspects of the original matrix. It is used in a wide range of applications, including signal processing, image compression, and dimensionality reduction in machine learning.
