Terminology:

  • "word" = "term": an element of the vocabulary
  • "token": instance of a term appearing in a document
  • "topic": multinomial distribution over words representing some concept

    Concentration parameter (commonly named "alpha") for the prior placed on documents' distributions over topics ("theta").

    This method assumes the Dirichlet distribution is symmetric and can be described by a single Double parameter. It should fail if docConcentration is asymmetric.

    documents

    RDD of documents, which are term (word) count vectors paired with IDs. The term count vectors are "bags of words" with a fixed-size vocabulary (where the vocabulary size is the length of the vector). Document IDs must be unique and greater than or equal to 0.

    Parameter for set checkpoint interval (greater than or equal to 1) or disable checkpoint (-1).

    Parameter for set checkpoint interval (greater than or equal to 1) or disable checkpoint (-1). E.g. 10 means that the cache will get checkpointed every 10 iterations. Checkpointing helps with recovery (when nodes fail). It also helps with eliminating temporary shuffle files on disk, which can be important when LDA is run for many iterations. If the checkpoint directory is not set in org.apache.spark.SparkContext, this setting is ignored. (default = 10)

  47. def setDocConcentration(docConcentration: Vector): LDA.this.type

    Concentration parameter (commonly named "alpha") for the prior placed on documents' distributions over topics ("theta").

    Concentration parameter (commonly named "alpha") for the prior placed on documents' distributions over topics ("theta").

    This is the parameter to a Dirichlet distribution, where larger values mean more smoothing (more regularization).

    If set to a singleton vector Vector(-1), then docConcentration is set automatically. If set to singleton vector Vector(t) where t != -1, then t is replicated to a vector of length k during LDAOptimizer.initialize(). Otherwise, the docConcentration vector must be length k. (default = Vector(-1) = automatic)

    Optimizer-specific parameter settings:

    • EM
      • Currently only supports symmetric distributions, so all values in the vector should be the same.
      • Values should be greater than 1.0
      • default = uniformly (50 / k) + 1, where 50/k is common in LDA libraries and +1 follows from Asuncion et al. (2009), who recommend a +1 adjustment for EM.
    • Online
      • Values should be greater than or equal to 0
      • default = uniformly (1.0 / k), following the implementation from here.
