Perspectives on CUR Decompositions

Abstract

This note discusses an interesting matrix factorization called the CUR Decomposition. We illustrate various viewpoints of this method by comparing and contrasting them in different situations. Additionally, we offer a new characterization of CUR decompositions which synergizes these viewpoints and shows that they are indeed the same in the exact decomposition case.
