## Public overview

Low-rank matrix factorization is a recurring research-paper notation family. Approximates a large matrix with two narrow factors whose shared inner dimension limits effective rank and parameter count.

Low-rank matrix factorization: Approximates a large matrix with two narrow factors whose shared inner dimension limits effective rank and parameter count. Example: Keep only r dominant directions instead of the full matrix.
