Please see this thread from the user mailing list

Tasks

1)  Term frequency

and LDA
http://madlib.apache.org/docs/latest/group__grp__lda.html
should both creates indexes that start at 1, to make them consistent with other 
MADlib modules.  One or both of these currently create indexes starting at 0.

2)  In the output_data_table  *topic_assignment* is a dense vector but *words* 
is a sparse vector (svec).
We should change *topic_assignment* to be a sparse vector to be consistent.

Note:  the reason sparse vectors were used in the first place (I think) is to 
keep the model state as small as possible, so it is preferred to dense format 
in this case., although svecs are a bit harder to work with.  We have hit the 
Postgres 1GB field limit size in some use cases.

3) The user docs could also use some cleanup at the same time.  E.g., helper 
functions are used in the examples but not described above.
