             Summary: Support sparse LDA solutions
                 Key: SPARK-5564
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5564
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: MLlib
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley


Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) currently requires that the priors’ 
concentration parameters be > 1.0.  It should support values > 0.0, which 
should encourage sparser topics (phi) and document-topic distributions (theta).

For EM, this will require adding a projection to the M-step, as in: Vorontsov 
and Potapenko. "Tutorial on Probabilistic Topic Modeling : Additive 
Regularization for Stochastic Matrix Factorization." 2014.
