In hiatus. Currently evaluating best way to approach the DTM model. Using the Pólya-Gamma augmentation and the original DTM formulation is complicated and might not give better performance than simpler models (e.g., using truncated Pitman-Yor Processes).

NOTE: The implementation of LDA has been broken out (and refined) into lda.

NOTE: If you're interested in implementing the dynamic topic model using Pólya-Gamma, most of the hard work has been done: https://github.com/HIPS/pgmult

horizont: Topic models in Python

https://travis-ci.org/ariddell/horizont.png

horizont implements a number of topic models. Conventions from scikit-learn are followed.

The following models are implemented using Gibbs sampling.

  • Latent Dirichlet allocation (Blei et al., 2003; Pritchard et al., 2000)
  • (Coming soon) Logistic normal topic model
  • (Coming soon) Dynamic topic model (Blei and Lafferty, 2006)

Getting started

horizont.LDA implements latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) using Gibbs sampling. The interface follows conventions in scikit-learn.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from horizont import LDA
>>> X = np.array([[1,1], [2, 1], [3, 1], [4, 1], [5, 8], [6, 1]])
>>> model = LDA(n_topics=2, random_state=0, n_iter=100)
>>> doc_topic = model.fit_transform(X)  # estimate of document-topic distributions
>>> model.components_  # estimate of topic-word distributions

Requirements

Python 2.7 or Python 3.3+ is required. The following packages are also required:

GSL is required for random number generation inside the Pólya-Gamma random variate generator. On Debian-based sytems, GSL may be installed with the command sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev. horizont looks for GSL headers and libraries in /usr/include and /usr/lib/ respectively.

Cython is needed if compiling from source.
