LDA Example: Modeling topics in the Spark documentation
/*
This example uses Scala. Please see the MLlib documentation for a Java example.
Try running this code in the Spark shell. It may produce different topics each time (since LDA includes some randomization), but it should give topics similar to those listed above.
This example is paired with a blog post on LDA in Spark: http://databricks.com/blog

Thanks,
Shouldn't the step with the title 'Convert documents into term count vectors' be done in map reduce as well?

@joshdevins

tokenized[1] is an RDD of tokenized documents so converting them into term count vectors is indeed a distributed operation (i.e. "done in map reduce").

Hi, Is there a way to generate terms/weight for each topic like in the screenshot:

Hu1-Li commented Aug 6, 2015

the code will raise "org.apache.spark.SparkException: Task not serializable".I fix it this way and i use spark 1.4.

LDA().setK(numTopics).setMaxIterations(10).run(documents)

So I seem to have an implementation issue of getting all the same topics. I have the issue on both my custom data as well as the 20 News Groups.

I import the data with:
val corpus: RDD[String] = sc.wholeTextFiles("C:/Users/dreyco676/Desktop/20_newsgroups/*/*").map(_._2)

The rest is exactly the same code as is the Gist. But I get:

Hi, I get same kind of results as the one shown by @dreyco676.
any idea how to fix?

@ramialbatal

Hello, how can we estimate:
2- How many workers I need and how large is the memory on each of them?
1- How many stages the LDA will take to finish?
2- How long gonna be the processing knowing the number of workers and knowing that we have enough memory on each node.
Thanks

from here - https://databricks.com/blog/2015/09/22/large-scale-topic-modeling-improvements-to-lda-on-spark.html

Make sure to run for enough iterations. Early iterations may return useless (e.g. extremely similar) topics, but running for more iterations dramatically improves the results. We have noticed this is especially true for EM

Hi,
I was having the same issue of getting the same results with @dreyco676. When I increased the iterations to 20; more different terms came up. Thanks @dzianis-shender!

I am having difficulty in interpreting an error after this command:

val avgLogLikelihood = ldaModel.logLikelihood / documents.count()

Since I've compiled each command one after the other, I was able to detect the error. The error message I'm getting is that logLikelihood is not a member of org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.LDAModel.

How can I fix this? Thank you!
AJ

Hey @boolean85, the reason is that for some reason the value of ldaModel is of type LDAModel but the instance is of type DistributedLDAModel, so just cast it before getting the value

val avgLogLikelihood = ldaModel.asInstanceOf[DistributedLDAModel].logLikelihood / documents.count()

how can I get consistent topic distributions? I know LDA uses randomness in training, but if I use setSeed shouldn't the topics and calculated topic distributions always be the same on each run?

val ldaParams: LDA = new LDA().setK(10).setMaxIterations(60).setSeed(10L)
val distributedLDAModel: DistributedLDAModel = ldaParams.run(corpusInfo.docTermVectors).asInstanceOf[DistributedLDAModel]
val topicDistributions: Map[Long,Vector] = distributedLDAModel.topicDistributions.collect.toMap //produces different results on each run

Hello,

I am training a LDA model on wikipedia articles(4 million docs, ~14GB data). I am running a scala script on one machine with ~98GB memory. I run the scala code in spark shell with following params:

$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell --executor-memory 2G --driver-memory 25G --total-executor-cores 10 --conf spark.driver.maxResultSize=50g

I have scala code very similar to the above. No matter what driver memory, executor memory or maxResultSize memory I keep, I get OutOfMemory error or maxResultSize exceeded error

Could you please help me figure out the right settings?

Thanks!

Hi I have my data stored in a Sql Table. I scrapped a newpaper data and stored it ina sql table.
I am importing a column from of contents which contains the news article(content) and docID as

dataframe_mysql.registerTempTable("HT")
val data = sqlContext.sql("Select content,id from HT limit 2").toDF("text","docId").cache

data: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [text: string, docId: int]

data.show(1)
+--------------------+-------+
|                text          | docId |
+--------------------+-------+
|The Panama Papers...|    1    |
+--------------------+--------+

Can someplease help me how can modify this as a standard inout for this algorithm

@RohitRaj2017

I have found the solution myself.
I just mapped the data and got the input in standard form .

val corpus = data.map{x:Row => x.getAsString}
corpus: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String] = MapPartitionsRDD[83] at map at :52.

Now I don't want to print the the final output . I want to save it in a dataFrame. So that I can store it as a table in Hive.

val topicIndices = ldaModel.describeTopics(maxTermsPerTopic = 5)
topicIndices.foreach { case (terms, termWeights) =>
  println("TOPIC:")
  terms.zip(termWeights).foreach { case (term, weight) =>

Hi,
I'd like to train a LDA model to data from Twitter, I compiled this code until step
val lda = new LDA().setK(numTopics).setMaxIterations(10)
I get this error
error: reference to LDA is ambiguous;
it is imported twice in the same scope by import org.apache.spark.ml.clustering.LDA and import org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.LDA
val lda = new LDA().setK(numTopics).setMaxIterations(10)
Could someone please help me ? I use spark 2.0.0
Thanks !

Hi,

it seems that you all figured out how to deal with the Problem of similar (in my case even same) Topics. Maybe someone can help me, too?
My corpus exists of Tupel2<Long, Vector> where the Vector is a denseVector made of an Array with doubles.

Then I just tried the following:

LDAModel ldaModel = new LDA().setK(3).setMaxIterations(100).run(corpus);

final scala.Tuple2<int[],double[]>[] topics = ldaModel.describeTopics(v_AnzahlTerme);

List result2 = new java.util.ArrayList<>();
for (scala.Tuple2<int[],double[]> tmp : topics) {
for (int i=0; i<3;i++)
{
for (int j=0; j<tmp._1().length;j++)
{
result2.add(RowFactory.create(i, tmp._1()[j], tmp._2()[j]));

		}
	}
	}

return sc.parallelize(result2);

Are there any obvious Errors?

Thank you for any help!
Anja

Hi,

May I know how to change the word to some short phrase, such as public holiday, banking holiday and their weights accordingly. Shall we consider using n-gram.
