2. In Topic modeling which hyperparameters tuning used to represent document-topic
Density?
- Dirichlet hyperparameter Beta
- Dirichlet hyperparameter alpha
- Number of Topics (K)
- None of them
Answer :-
3. You have a topic model with the parameters a = 0.8 and ß = 0.03. Now, if you want to have
sparser distribution over words and denser distribution over topics, what should be the
values for a and ß?
- Both a and ß values should be decreased
- Both a and ß values should be increased
- a should be decreased, but @ should be increased
- a should be increased, but ß should be decreased
Answer :-
4. In Gibbs sampling choose the correct option from below
- It can not directly estimate the posterior distribution over z
- It is a form of Markov chain Monte Carlo
- Here sampling is done in parallel
- Sampling is stopped before sampled values approximate the target distribution
