["Feynman Liang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5571?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14624152#comment-14624152 ] 

Feynman Liang commented on SPARK-5571:
--------------------------------------

[~alok@jivesoftware.com], are you still working on this? I wanted to point out [CountVectorizer|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/feature/CountVectorizerModel.scala] was recently merged and seems appropriate for this task.

If you aren't working on this anymore, I would be happy to take this task.

> Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) currently operates only on vectors of word counts.  It should also supporting training and prediction using text (Strings).
> This plan is sketched in the [original LDA design doc|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kSsDqTeZMEB94Bs4GTd0mvdAmduvZSSkpoSfn-seAzo/edit?usp=sharing].
> There should be:
> * runWithText() method which takes an RDD with a collection of Strings (bags of words).  This will also index terms and compute a dictionary.
> * dictionary parameter for when LDA is run with word count vectors
> * prediction/feedback methods returning Strings (such as describeTopicsAsStrings, which is commented out in LDA currently)
