Things to remember
- How Gibbs sampling is used to sample from a model.
- The "generative story" associated with key models like LDA, naive Bayes, and stochastic block models.
- What a "mixed membership" generative model is.
- The time complexity and storage requirements of Gibbs sampling for LDAs.
- How LDA learning can be sped up using IPM approaches.
