  • Dirchlet distribution is an exponential family distribution
  • LDA is a generative model
  • Dirchlet distribution is taken over the simplex i.e positive vectors that sum to one

2. In Topic modeling which hyperparameters tuning used to represent document-topic
Density?

  1. Dirichlet hyperparameter Beta
  2. Dirichlet hyperparameter alpha
  3. Number of Topics (K)
  4. 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?

  1. Both a and ß values should be decreased
  2. Both a and ß values should be increased
  3. a should be decreased, but @ should be increased
  4. 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
Answer :-

  • 0.0240
  • 0.02459
  • 0.0260
  • 0.0234
Answer :-
