-
One of the basic assumptions of LDA and LSA as a distributional hypothesis which means __________________.
- a) Similar topics make use of similar words.
- b) Different topics make use of similar words.
- c) Similar topics make use of different words.
- d) None of the above.

One of the basic assumptions of LDA and LSA as a statistical mixture hypothesis which means _________.
- a) Documents talk about several topics.
- b) Similar topics make use of similar words.
- c) Documents talk about prefixed topics.
- d) None of the above.
Answer - a) Documents talk about several topics
-
Choose the correct statement from below –
I. The purpose of LDA is mapping each document in our corpus to a set of topics which covers a good deal of the words in the document.
II. LSA, LDA also ignores syntactic information and treats documents as bags of words.
III. There are two hyper parameters that control document and topic similarity, known as alpha and beta respectively- a) (I).
- b) b(II).
- c) III).
- d) All of the above.
Answer - d) All of the above
-
Choose the correct statement from below –
I. A low value of alpha will assign fewer topics to each document whereas a high value of alpha will have the opposite effect.
II. A low value of beta will use fewer words to model a topic whereas a high value will use more words, thus making topics more similar between them.
III. LDA cannot decide on the number of topics by itself.- a) (I).
- b) b(II).
- c) III).
- d) All of the above.
Answer - d) All of the above
-
