1Productivity
If traditional SVD methods are used for incremental updates, then computation accuracy is maintained, but computation time increases significantly and processing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the SVD computation into incremental updates by maintaining a set of orthonormal basis vectors that are updated sequentially as new data arrives. Instead of recomputing the entire SVD, the method divides the computation into manageable update steps using the relation A_new = A_old + x*y^T, where only the necessary basis vectors are updated rather than the complete decomposition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary computation of the initial SVD decomposition on the first batch of data, establishing a foundation of orthonormal basis vectors. This preliminary action allows subsequent incremental updates to build upon the existing decomposition rather than starting from scratch, significantly reducing computation time for future updates.
2Productivity
If incremental updates are performed using traditional methods, then real-time processing is enabled, but computation accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter representation by maintaining orthonormal basis vectors and using rank-1 update formulas instead of traditional incremental SVD methods. The key parameter transformation is expressing the updated matrix as A_new = U_new*Σ_new*V_new^T where U and V are updated through specific mathematical relations that preserve orthogonality and numerical stability, thus maintaining accuracy while enabling real-time processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms by continuously updating the orthonormal basis vectors based on the relationship between new data and existing decomposition. The method uses feedback from the residual terms and orthogonality constraints to adjust the basis vectors in subsequent updates, ensuring numerical accuracy is maintained throughout the incremental process.
3Measurement precision
If complete SVD recomputation is performed for each update, then accuracy is maintained, but device complexity and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and maintains only the essential orthonormal basis vectors from the complete SVD decomposition, rather than storing or recomputing the entire decomposition. By extracting and updating only the necessary components (U and V matrices) through rank-1 update formulas, the method reduces computational resource requirements while preserving the accuracy needed for practical applications.
4Productivity
If traditional incremental SVD methods are used, then processing speed improves, but reliability and numerical stability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional approach by updating the orthonormal basis vectors through a mathematically stable process that maintains orthogonality constraints, rather than directly updating singular values which can accumulate numerical errors. The method uses the inversion principle of maintaining U^T*U = I and V^T*V = I throughout the incremental updates, ensuring numerical stability is preserved even as processing speed increases.

AI summary
A singular value decomposition (SVD) is computed of a first matrix to define a left matrix, a diagonal matrix, and a right matrix. The left matrix, the diagonal matrix, and the right matrix are updated using an arrowhead matrix structure defined from the diagonal matrix and by adding a next observation vector to a last row of the first matrix. The updated left matrix, the updated diagonal matrix, and the updated right matrix are updated using a diagonal-plus-rank-one (DPR1) matrix structure defined from the updated diagonal matrix and by removing an observation vector from a first row of the first matrix. Eigenpairs of the DPR1 matrix are computed based on whether a value computed from the updated left matrix is positive or negative. The left matrix updated in (C), the diagonal matrix updated in (C), and the right matrix updated in (C) are output.
