In Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), this is followed by a computation of a low-rank approximation to the data matrix, in order to filter out noise and redundancy due to word usage. The computation of these low-rank approximation by factorization algorithms can be time-consuming when the data se...

Increasingly organizations compete based on time. As a result, cycle-time reduction is a key agenda for organizations interested in achieving increased customer service and reduced cost. With improved cycle time, organizations can often eliminate or reduce inventory while expanding customer service offerings.
