Overview

About

Maintained by Nicholas Erskine1 releasesCRAN page ↗

Fits Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic models to text data using the stochastic variational inference algorithm described in Hoffman et. al. (2013) arXiv:1206.7051v3. This method is more efficient than the original batch variational inference algorithm for LDA, and allows users to fit LDA models with more topics and to larger text corpora than would be feasible using that older method.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/lda.svi/lda.svi_0.1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "lda.svi_0.1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
