What is the role of left singular vectors in SVD?
SVD decomposition of a data matrix $A$ of order $n \times d$ and rank $r$ can be expressed as follows
$$A_{n\times d} = U_{n\times r}D_{r \times r}V^{T}_{r \times d}$$
The rows of the data matrix $A$ ...

How many singular vectors do we need to calculate for SVD?
In the geometrical interpretation of SVD, the data points that we have need to be imagined as points in high dimensional space (say $d$-dimensional space). But we need to find a hyperplane in $k-$...
