Title:
 
The Role of Singular Value Decomposition in Data Analysis
 
 
Abstract:
 
The singular value decomposition (SVD) of an m× n matrix emerged as a very
important tool in data analysis, data compression and data recovery in
computer science, electrical engineering and biology.  In this talk, we will
explain the significance of SVD and some recent applications to the
following topics:
 
1. Fast low rank approximation of matrices using Monte-Carlo techniques.  
2. A joint SVD decomposition of two or more matrices to compare several
biological processes.  
3. Estimation of missing values in given matrix data using the inverse
eigenvalue problems techniques, and their applications to DNA micro arrays
and image processing.
 
Most of the results can be found the following recent papers, which are
available at  http://www.math.uic.edu/%20friedlan/research.html.
