Faces dataset decompositions

This example applies to The Labeled Faces in the Wild face recognition dataset different unsupervised matrix decomposition (dimension reduction) methods from the module sklearn.decomposition (see the documentation chapter Decomposing signals in components (matrix factorization problems)) .
