Goulart","Stephen R. Duncan"],"abstract":"The higher-order generalized singular value decomposition (HO-GSVD) is a matrix factorization technique that extends the GSVD to $N \\ge 2$ data matrices, and can be used to identify shared subspaces in multiple large-scale datasets with different row dimensions. The standard HO-GSVD factors $N$ matrices $A_i\\in\\mathbb{R}^{m_i\\times n}$ as $A_i=U_i\\Sigma_i V^\\text{T}$, but requires that each of the matrices $A_i$ has full column rank. We propose a modification of the HO-GSVD that extends its applicability to rank-deficient data matrices $A_i$. If the matrix of stacked $A_i$ has full rank, we show that the properties of the original HO-GSVD extend to our approach. We extend the notion of common subspaces to isolated subspaces, which identify features that are unique to one $A_i$. We also extend our results to the higher-order cosine-sine decomposition (HO-CSD), which is closely related to the HO-GSVD. Our extension of the standard HO-GSVD allows its application to datasets with with $m_i<n$ or $\\text{rank}(A_i)<n$, such as are encountered in bioinformatics, neuroscience, control theory or classification problems.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.09822v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.09822v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-higher-order-generalized-singular-value","repo_url":"https://github.com/kmpape/HO-GSVD","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2102.09822","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
