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 not set by the user, then docConcentration is set automatically. If set to singleton vector [alpha], then alpha is replicated to a vector of length k in fitting. Otherwise, the docConcentration vector must be length k. (default = automatic)

Fraction of the corpus to be sampled and used in each iteration of mini-batch gradient descent, in range (0, 1].
Note that this should be adjusted in synch with LDA.maxIter
so the entire corpus is used. Specifically, set both so that
maxIterations * miniBatchFraction greater than or equal to 1.
Note: This is the same as the miniBatchFraction
parameter in
org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.OnlineLDAOptimizer.
Default: 0.05, i.e., 5% of total documents.
Concentration parameter (commonly named "beta" or "eta") for the prior placed on topics' distributions over terms.
Concentration parameter (commonly named "beta" or "eta") for the prior placed on topics' distributions over terms.
This is the parameter to a symmetric Dirichlet distribution.
Note: The topics' distributions over terms are called "beta" in the original LDA paper by Blei et al., but are called "phi" in many later papers such as Asuncion et al., 2009.
If not set by the user, then topicConcentration is set automatically. (default = automatic)

Output column with estimates of the topic mixture distribution for each document (often called "theta" in the literature).
Output column with estimates of the topic mixture distribution for each document (often called "theta" in the literature). Returns a vector of zeros for an empty document.
This uses a variational approximation following Hoffman et al. (2010), where the approximate distribution is called "gamma." Technically, this method returns this approximation "gamma" for each document.

Fits multiple models to the input data with multiple sets of parameters.
Fits multiple models to the input data with multiple sets of parameters. The default implementation uses a for loop on each parameter map. Subclasses could override this to optimize multi-model training.

Returns all params sorted by their names. The default implementation uses Java reflection to list all public methods that have no arguments and return Param.

If using checkpointing, this indicates whether to keep the last checkpoint. If false, then the checkpoint will be deleted. Deleting the checkpoint can cause failures if a data partition is lost, so set this bit with care. Note that checkpoints will be cleaned up via reference counting, regardless.

Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic model designed for text documents.
Terminology:
Original LDA paper (journal version): Blei, Ng, and Jordan. "Latent Dirichlet Allocation." JMLR, 2003.
Input data (featuresCol): LDA is given a collection of documents as input data, via the featuresCol parameter. Each document is specified as a
Vector
of length vocabSize, where each entry is the count for the corresponding term (word) in the document. Feature transformers such as org.apache.spark.ml.feature.Tokenizer and org.apache.spark.ml.feature.CountVectorizer can be useful for converting text to word count vectors.Latent Dirichlet allocation (Wikipedia)
