Hi, all!

        Is there an example somewhere on using LDA’s 
logPerplexity()/logLikelihood() functions to evaluate topic counts? The 
existing MLLib LDA examples show calling them, but I can’t find any 
documentation about how to interpret the outputs. Graphing the outputs for logs 
of perplexity and likelihood aren’t consistent with what I expected (perplexity 
increases and likelihood decreases as topics increase, which seem odd to me).

        An example of what I’m doing is here:

        Thanks very much in advance! If I can figure this out, I can post 
example code online, so others can see how this process is done.

-Best regards,
Cody
