sparse matrix svd in python

问题

Does anyone know how to perform svd operation on a sparse matrix in python? It seems that there is no such functionality provided in scipy.sparse.linalg.

回答1:

You can use the Divisi library to accomplish this; from the home page:

• It is a library written in Python, using a C library (SVDLIBC) to perform the sparse SVD operation using the Lanczos algorithm. Other mathematical computations are performed by NumPy.

回答2:

Sounds like sparsesvd is what you're looking for! SVDLIBC efficiently wrapped in Python (no extra data copies made in RAM).

Simply run "easy_install sparsesvd" to install.

回答3:

You can try scipy.sparse.linalg.svd, although the documentation is still a work-in-progress and thus rather laconic.

A simple example using python-recsys library:

from recsys.algorithm.factorize import SVD

svd = SVD()
svd.load_data(dataset)
svd.compute(k=100, mean_center=True)

ITEMID1 = 1  # Toy Story
svd.similar(ITEMID1)
# Returns:
# [(1,    1.0),                 # Toy Story
#  (3114, 0.87060391051018071), # Toy Story 2
#  (2355, 0.67706936677315799), # A bug's life
#  (588,  0.5807351496754426),  # Aladdin

#  (2761, 0.40439361857585354)] # The Iron Giant

ITEMID2 = 2355 # A bug's life
svd.similarity(ITEMID1, ITEMID2)
# 0.67706936677315799
