Parameter inference method, calculation apparatus, and system based on latent dirichlet allocation model

Abstract

A parameter inference method to solve a problem that precision of a Latent Dirichlet Allocation model is poor is provided. The method includes: calculating a Latent Dirichlet Allocation model according to a preset initial first hyperparameter, a preset initial second hyperparameter, a preset initial number of topics, a preset initial count matrix of documents and topics, and a preset initial count matrix of topics and words to obtain probability distributions; obtaining the number of topics, a first hyperparameter, and a second hyperparameter that maximize log likelihood functions of the probability distributions; and determining whether the number of topics, the first hyperparameter, and the second hyperparameter converge, and if not, putting the number of topics, the first hyperparameter, and the second hyperparameter into the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model until the optimal number of topics, an optimal first hyperparameter, and an optimal second hyperparameter that maximize the log likelihood functions of the probability distributions.
