Resources

SVD Code and More (NEW!)
  • Software to compute the SVD of a large, sparse matrix. This code is essentially the same as Michael Berry's las2 subroutine from SVDPACK.
  • C++ classes implementing various data structures, such as, hash tables may be found at SGI's STL site.
  • A standard list of English stopwords is available from the SMART ftp site. Other stopword lists may vary slightly.
    • Sparse Matrices (NEW!)
  • Here is a simple of representing sparse matrices very similar to the Harwell-Boeing format. Please use this format for this course.
  • More general sparse matrix formats are given here.
  • Even more sparse matrix resources.
    • Information Retrieval (NEW!)
