The paper compares two popular data‑integration techniques—Stack‑SVD, which concatenates datasets before performing singular value decomposition, and SVD‑Stack, which first decomposes each dataset separately and then aggregates the leading singular vectors. By deriving exact asymptotic performance expressions and phase transitions in a proportional regime, the authors show that neither method uniformly dominates the other when unweighted, but optimally weighted Stack‑SVD outperforms optimally weighted SVD‑Stack when the low‑rank signal is fully shared. They also demonstrate that SVD‑Stack can excel with partially shared components and provide practical algorithms for estimating optimal weights, supported by simulations and genomic experiments.
The paper investigates Partial Least Squares (PLS) in high-dimensional settings, focusing on a model where two data matrices share a low-rank latent structure plus individual-specific components. By analyzing the singular vectors of the cross‑covariance matrix with random matrix theory, the authors derive asymptotic characterizations of how well the estimated latent directions align with the true ones. They show that the PLS variant based on Singular Value Decomposition (PLS‑SVD) outperforms separate principal component analysis in detecting the common latent subspace, while also identifying regimes where PLS‑SVD behaves counter‑intuitively or reaches fundamental limits.

The paper extends the h‑plot multidimensional scaling technique to handle three‑way asymmetric dissimilarities, enabling the extraction of archetypal profiles and clustering in a unified Euclidean space. It provides an explicit eigenvector‑based solution that avoids local minima, is scale‑invariant, computationally efficient, and includes a straightforward goodness‑of‑fit assessment. The method is benchmarked against existing models and demonstrated on a financial dataset, with all data and code made publicly available for reproducibility.
Cross-modal alignment (CA) and cross-modal prediction (CP) are the dominant paradigms for multimodal representation learning, yet there is no systematic understanding of when each succeeds, when each fails, and when cross-modal training helps at all -- a gap that leaves practitioners, especially in scientific domains like biomedicine or astrophysics, with heterogeneous instruments and multiple levels of organization and measurement, unable to diagnose why standard methods underperform the best single modality. We develop a unified linear framework that addresses both questions.
