class sklearn.decomposition.LatentDirichletAllocation(n_components=10, *, doc_topic_prior=None, topic_word_prior=None, learning_method='batch', learning_decay=0.7, learning_offset=10.0, max_iter=10, batch_size=128, evaluate_every=-1, total_samples=1000000.0, perp_tol=0.1, mean_change_tol=0.001, max_doc_update_iter=100, n_jobs=None, verbose=0, random_state=None)[source]#

Latent Dirichlet Allocation with online variational Bayes algorithm.

The implementation is based on [1] and [2].

Added in version 0.17.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:
n_componentsint, default=10

Number of topics.

Changed in version 0.19: n_topics was renamed to n_components

doc_topic_priorfloat, default=None

Prior of document topic distribution theta. If the value is None, defaults to 1 / n_components. In [1], this is called alpha.

topic_word_priorfloat, default=None

Prior of topic word distribution beta. If the value is None, defaults to 1 / n_components. In [1], this is called eta.

learning_method{‘batch’, ‘online’}, default=’batch’

Method used to update _component. Only used in fit method. In general, if the data size is large, the online update will be much faster than the batch update.

Valid options:

  • ‘batch’: Batch variational Bayes method. Use all training data in each EM update. Old components_ will be overwritten in each iteration.

  • ‘online’: Online variational Bayes method. In each EM update, use mini-batch of training data to update the components_ variable incrementally. The learning rate is controlled by the learning_decay and the learning_offset parameters.

Changed in version 0.20: The default learning method is now "batch".

learning_decayfloat, default=0.7

It is a parameter that control learning rate in the online learning method. The value should be set between (0.5, 1.0] to guarantee asymptotic convergence. When the value is 0.0 and batch_size is n_samples, the update method is same as batch learning. In the literature, this is called kappa.

learning_offsetfloat, default=10.0

A (positive) parameter that downweights early iterations in online learning. It should be greater than 1.0. In the literature, this is called tau_0.

max_iterint, default=10

The maximum number of passes over the training data (aka epochs). It only impacts the behavior in the fit method, and not the partial_fit method.

batch_sizeint, default=128

Number of documents to use in each EM iteration. Only used in online learning.

evaluate_everyint, default=-1

How often to evaluate perplexity. Only used in fit method. set it to 0 or negative number to not evaluate perplexity in training at all. Evaluating perplexity can help you check convergence in training process, but it will also increase total training time. Evaluating perplexity in every iteration might increase training time up to two-fold.

total_samplesint, default=1e6

Total number of documents. Only used in the partial_fit method.

perp_tolfloat, default=1e-1

Perplexity tolerance. Only used when evaluate_every is greater than 0.

mean_change_tolfloat, default=1e-3

Stopping tolerance for updating document topic distribution in E-step.

max_doc_update_iterint, default=100

Max number of iterations for updating document topic distribution in the E-step.

n_jobsint, default=None

The number of jobs to use in the E-step. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.

verboseint, default=0

Verbosity level.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

Attributes:
components_ndarray of shape (n_components, n_features)

Variational parameters for topic word distribution. Since the complete conditional for topic word distribution is a Dirichlet, components_[i, j] can be viewed as pseudocount that represents the number of times word j was assigned to topic i. It can also be viewed as distribution over the words for each topic after normalization: model.components_ / model.components_.sum(axis=1)[:, np.newaxis].

exp_dirichlet_component_ndarray of shape (n_components, n_features)

Exponential value of expectation of log topic word distribution. In the literature, this is exp(E[log(beta)]).

n_batch_iter_int

Number of iterations of the EM step.

n_features_in_int

Number of features seen during fit.

Added in version 0.24.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.

Added in version 1.0.

n_iter_int

Number of passes over the dataset.

bound_float

Final perplexity score on training set.

doc_topic_prior_float

Prior of document topic distribution theta. If the value is None, it is 1 / n_components.

random_state_RandomState instance

RandomState instance that is generated either from a seed, the random number generator or by np.random.

topic_word_prior_float

Prior of topic word distribution beta. If the value is None, it is 1 / n_components.
