Cholesky 怎么读

Cholesky 在英语中的标准读法是 「shuh LESS kee」（/ʃəˈlɛski/）。

Stress on the SECOND syllable: shuh-LESS-kee. Named after French mathematician/military officer André-Louis Cholesky (decomposition posthumously published 1924). Wikipedia gives /ʃəˈlɛski/ — the onset is 'sh', NOT a hard 'k'. The decomposition is everywhere in numerical computing / ML (covariance factorization, linear solvers, Gaussian processes), so the mispronunciation gets repeated constantly. English speakers overwhelmingly default to the spelling-driven 'koh-LESS-kee' (hard C), and many keep that even after being corrected, which is why it's genuinely contested rather than a clean single answer.

其他读法：

• 「koh LESS kee」 /koʊˈlɛski/
