Speedups for LDA:
- Distributed Algorithms for Topic Models, Newman et al, JMLR 2009.
- Efficient Methods for Topic Model Inference on Streaming Document Collections, Yao, Mimno, McCallum KDD 2009.
- Reducing the sampling complexity of topic models, Li, Ahmed, Ravi, & Smola, KDD 2014
- LightLDA: Big Topic Models on Modest Compute Clusters, Jinhui Yuan, Fei Gao, Qirong Ho, Wei Dai, Jinliang Wei, Xun Zheng, Eric P. Xing, Tie-Yan Liu, Wei-Ying Ma, 2015
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.
- Why efficient sampling is important for LDAs
- How sampling can be sped up for many topics by preprocessing the parameters of the distribution
- How the storage used for LDA can be reduced by exploiting the fact that many words are rare.
