Example of SVD in Python

It is common to use SVD for recommendation systems. Let’s say that we have a data frame called user_ratings that can be the score of each user to each movie.

from scipy.sparse.linalg import svds
import numpy as np

# Decompose the matrix
U, sigma, Vt = svds(user_ratings_centered, k=6)

# Convert sigma into a diagonal matrix
sigma = np.diag(sigma)

# U x Sigma
U_x_Sigma = np.dot(U, sigma)

# (U x Sigma) x Vt
U_Sigma_Vt = np.dot(U_x_Sigma , Vt)

The U_Sigma_Vt is the product of the three decomposed matrices
