Overview

About

Maintained by Tommy JonesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Implements an algorithm for Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Blei et al. (2003) https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume3/blei03a/blei03a.pdf, using style conventions from the 'tidyverse', Wickham et al. (2019)doi:10.21105/joss.01686, and 'tidymodels', Kuhn et al.https://tidymodels.github.io/model-implementation-principles/. Fitting is done via 'warpLDA', a Metropolis-Hastings sampler, Chen et al. (2016) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1510.08628. Also implements several novel features for LDA such as guided models and transfer learning.

Changes in 0.1.1

**Links against libatomic where the compiler needs it.** RcppThread's thread pool keeps each worker's loop range in an over-aligned std::atomic. clang treats an over-aligned atomic as not lock-free and emits a call into libatomic, which was not being linked, so the shared object failed to load on CRAN's r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-clang after that machine moved to LLVM 23. A new configure script probes the construct and adds -latomic only on toolchains that require it. This is a build fix: no user-visible change, and no change to results.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("tidylda", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("TommyJones/tidylda")

Development version from TommyJones/tidylda. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-tidylda

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-tidylda

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-tidylda

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
