Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-458:
----------------------------------
Definitely reopen it then. The history here shows the discussion that seemed to
indicate it was closed.
One issue this highlight is that we had an issue open, and patch up for 2
months, and nothing happened with it, when evidently it was valuable.
May I suggest this is for post-0.5, if nobody has otherwise noticed or taken
this up in the intervening 6 months?
> The LDA output does not include the topic-probability distribution per
> document (p(z|d)). It outputs only the topics and corresponding words.

> The current implementation of LDA outputs only topics and their words. Many
> applications need the p(z|d) values of a document to use this vector as a
> reduced representation of the document (dimensionality reduction of
> document). We need to introduce a new key which would keep track of the gamma
> values for each document (as obtained from the document.infer() method) and
> writes these to the output stream and finally, PrintLDATopics should output
> these values per document id. Also, outputting the probabilities of words in
> a topic would also provide a more meaningful output.
