Study Notes
Orthogonality
- Orthogonal vectors are vectors that are perpendicular to each other. Their dot product is zero.
- Two vectors are orthogonal if their angle is 90 degrees.
- A set of vectors are orthogonal if each pair of vectors in the set is orthogonal.
Projections
- The projection of a vector u onto a vector v is a vector that lies along v.
- The projection of u onto v is given by the formula: projvu = ((u ⋅ v) / ||v||2) * v
- The projection represents the component of u that lies in the direction of v.
- The vector (u-projvu) is orthogonal to v.
Gram-Schmidt Process
- The Gram-Schmidt process is an algorithm for orthonormalizing a set of vectors.
- It transforms a set of linearly independent vectors into an orthonormal set.
- Steps:
- Normalize the first vector in the set.
- Subtract the projection of the second vector onto the first normalized vector.
- Normalize the resulting vector.
- Repeat for subsequent vectors, subtracting projections onto all previously orthonormalized vectors.
Linear Algebra Concepts
- Vectors: Quantities with both magnitude and direction.
- Matrices: Arrays of numbers arranged in rows and columns.
- Linear Transformations: Transformations that preserve lines and the origin.
- Systems of Linear Equations: A set of equations involving linear combinations of variables.
- Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors: A scalar (eigenvalue) and vector (eigenvector) pair that satisfy a specific equation.
Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA)
-
LSA is a technique used for information retrieval that utilizes a mathematical model.
-
LSA works by representing documents and terms as vectors in a high-dimensional space.
-
This representation emphasizes semantic relationships between words and documents based on the co-occurrence of terms.
-
Key Concepts:
- Document-Term Matrix: Each row represents a document, each column represents a term, and the value in each cell represents the frequency of a term in that document.
- Singular Value Decomposition (SVD): Used to reduce dimensionality of the document-term matrix. This captures important relationships between terms and documents.
- Reduced Dimensionality Space: A lower-dimensional space can be seen as a representation capturing semantic information. Documents and terms are projected onto this space.
-
Applications of LSA:
- Information retrieval
- Text summarization
- Topic modeling
- Similarity search
