This lecture covers the concept of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), which is used to compress information. The instructor explains how SVD can be applied to matrices, particularly in the context of compressing image data. The lecture delves into the mathematical foundations of SVD, discussing the properties of orthogonal matrices and diagonal matrices. Various examples are provided to illustrate the application of SVD in compressing information and its relevance in different scenarios.
