LdaMulticore.inference(chunk, collect_sstats=False)¶

Given a chunk of sparse document vectors, estimate gamma (parameters controlling the topic weights) for each document in the chunk.

This function does not modify the model (=is read-only aka const). The whole input chunk of document is assumed to fit in RAM; chunking of a large corpus must be done earlier in the pipeline.

If collect_sstats is True, also collect sufficient statistics needed to update the model’s topic-word distributions, and return a 2-tuple (gamma, sstats). Otherwise, return (gamma, None). gamma is of shape len(chunk) x self.num_topics.

Avoids computing the phi variational parameter directly using the optimization presented in Lee, Seung: Algorithms for non-negative matrix factorization, NIPS 2001.
