lda-advi-ae.ipynb

Hi @akashgit, thanks for sending me detailed information. But I could not reproduce your result yet. I tested the notebook on theano-0.8.2 and 0.9.0dev2, python2 and 3. Under all of these environments, ADVI worked.

Here is my Dockerfile on which the notebook ran.

From jupyter/datascience-notebook
MAINTAINER Taku Yoshioka <contact@google.com>

ENV TERM xterm-color

USER jovyan
RUN pip install theano joblib

Save the above as Dockerfile, then you can build an image by typing

docker build -t pymc3-test .

pymc3-test is the name of the created image. Finally, start running a container with the above image

docker run -d -v /your/home:/home/jovyan/work -p 8889:8888 --name pymc3 pymc3-test

You can access the notebook server via localhost:8889. When using VirtualBox (DockerMachine), you need to specify the IP address on which DockerMachine is running. See https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/env/. I recommend Linux or Mac, both of which have native support of Docker so you don't need to specify the IP address of the DockerMachine.

Here is the option of the command docker run:

• -d: Background execution
• -v: Mount volume /your/home on your host to /home/jovyan/work on the container.
• -p: Port forwarding
• --name: Image of the container

thanks for the file @taku-y. I will try to see what is wrong with my current configuration.
