    Telcordia (formerly Bellcore) offers LSA/LSI software for academic use.
    To request a copy, go to:

    http://lsi.research.telcordia.com/

    This package handles all the steps in applying LSI to a corpus. However,
    it is only available as precompiled binaries for Solaris, I think.

    You might also try Michael Berry's SVDPACK (Fortran) or SVDPACKC (C port),
    available from netlib.org. This won't handle the creation of
    term-document matrices, but provides open source SVD software for large,
    sparse matrices. It will compile under a variety of Unix-type operating
    systems.

    Best.
