Module tomotopy

Python package tomotopy provides types and functions for various Topic Model including LDA, DMR, HDP, MG-LDA, PA and HPA. It is written in C++ for speed and provides Python extension.

What is tomotopy?

tomotopy is a Python extension of tomoto (Topic Modeling Tool) which is a Gibbs-sampling based topic model library written in C++. It utilizes a vectorization of modern CPUs for maximizing speed. The current version of tomoto supports several major topic models including

The most recent version of tomotopy is 0.5.1.

Getting Started

You can install tomotopy easily using pip. (https://pypi.org/project/tomotopy/) ::

$ pip install tomotopy

For Linux, it is neccesary to have gcc 5 or more for compiling C++14 codes. After installing, you can start tomotopy by just importing. ::

import tomotopy as tp
print(tp.isa) # prints 'avx2', 'avx', 'sse2' or 'none'

Currently, tomotopy can exploits AVX2, AVX or SSE2 SIMD instruction set for maximizing performance. When the package is imported, it will check available instruction sets and select the best option. If tp.isa tells none, iterations of training may take a long time. But, since most of modern Intel or AMD CPUs provide SIMD instruction set, the SIMD acceleration could show a big improvement.

Here is a sample code for simple LDA training of texts from 'sample.txt' file. ::

import tomotopy as tp
mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20)
for line in open('sample.txt'):
    mdl.add_doc(line.strip().split())

for i in range(0, 100, 10):
    mdl.train(10)
    print('Iteration: {}\tLog-likelihood: {}'.format(i, mdl.ll_per_word))

for k in range(mdl.k):
    print('Top 10 words of topic #{}'.format(k))
    print(mdl.get_topic_words(k, top_n=10))

Performance of tomotopy

tomotopy uses Collapsed Gibbs-Sampling(CGS) to infer the distribution of topics and the distribution of words. Generally CGS converges more slowly than Variational Bayes(VB) that gensim's LdaModel uses, but its iteration can be computed much faster. In addition, tomotopy can take advantage of multicore CPUs with a SIMD instruction set, which can result in faster iterations.

Following chart shows the comparison of LDA model's running time between tomotopy and gensim. The input data consists of 1000 random documents from English Wikipedia with 1,506,966 words (about 10.1 MB). tomotopy trains 200 iterations and gensim trains 10 iterations.

↑ Performance in Intel i5-6600, x86-64 (4 cores)

↑ Performance in Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4, x86-64 (8 cores, 16 threads)

↑ Performance in AMD Ryzen7 3700X, x86-64 (8 cores, 16 threads)

Although tomotopy iterated 20 times more, the overall running time was 5~10 times faster than gensim. And it yields a stable result.

It is difficult to compare CGS and VB directly because they are totaly different techniques. But from a practical point of view, we can compare the speed and the result between them. The following chart shows the log-likelihood per word of two models' result.

The SIMD instruction set has a great effect on performance. Following is a comparison between SIMD instruction sets.

Fortunately, most of recent x86-64 CPUs provide AVX2 instruction set, so we can enjoy the performance of AVX2.

Model Save and Load

tomotopy provides save and load method for each topic model class, so you can save the model into the file whenever you want, and re-load it from the file. ::

import tomotopy as tp

mdl = tp.HDPModel()
for line in open('sample.txt'):
    mdl.add_doc(line.strip().split())

for i in range(0, 100, 10):
    mdl.train(10)
    print('Iteration: {}\tLog-likelihood: {}'.format(i, mdl.ll_per_word))

# save into file
mdl.save('sample_hdp_model.bin')

# load from file
mdl = tp.HDPModel.load('sample_hdp_model.bin')
for k in range(mdl.k):
    if not mdl.is_live_topic(k): continue
    print('Top 10 words of topic #{}'.format(k))
    print(mdl.get_topic_words(k, top_n=10))

# the saved model is HDP model, 
# so when you load it by LDA model, it will raise an exception
mdl = tp.LDAModel.load('sample_hdp_model.bin')

When you load the model from a file, a model type in the file should match the class of methods.

See more at LDAModel.save() and LDAModel.load() methods.

Documents in the Model and out of the Model

We can use Topic Model for two major purposes. The basic one is to discover topics from a set of documents as a result of trained model, and the more advanced one is to infer topic distributions for unseen documents by using trained model.

We named the document in the former purpose (used for model training) as document in the model, and the document in the later purpose (unseen document during training) as document out of the model.

In tomotopy, these two different kinds of document are generated differently. A document in the model can be created by LDAModel.add_doc() method. add_doc can be called before LDAModel.train() starts. In other words, after train called, add_doc cannot add a document into the model because the set of document used for training has become fixed.

To acquire the instance of the created document, you should use LDAModel.docs like:

::

mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20)
idx = mdl.add_doc(words)
if idx < 0: raise RuntimeError("Failed to add doc")
doc_inst = mdl.docs[idx]
# doc_inst is an instance of the added document

A document out of the model is generated by LDAModel.make_doc() method. make_doc can be called only after train starts. If you use make_doc before the set of document used for training has become fixed, you may get wrong results. Since make_doc returns the instance directly, you can use its return value for other manipulations.

::

mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20)
# add_doc ...
mdl.train(100)
doc_inst = mdl.make_doc(unseen_words) # doc_inst is an instance of the unseen document

Inference for Unseen Documents

If a new document is created by LDAModel.make_doc(), its topic distribution can be inferred by the model. Inference for unseen document should be performed using LDAModel.infer() method.

::

mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20)
# add_doc ...
mdl.train(100)
doc_inst = mdl.make_doc(unseen_words)
topic_dist, ll = mdl.infer(doc_inst)
print("Topic Distribution for Unseen Docs: ", topic_dist)
print("Log-likelihood of inference: ", ll)

The infer method can infer only one instance of Document or a list of instances of Document. See more at LDAModel.infer().

Parallel Sampling Algorithms

Since version 0.5.0, tomotopy allows you to choose a parallelism algorithm. The algorithm provided in versions prior to 0.4.2 is COPY_MERGE, which is provided for all topic models. The new algorithm PARTITION, available since 0.5.0, makes training generally faster and more memory-efficient, but it is available at not all topic models.

The following chart shows the speed difference between the two algorithms based on the number of topics and the number of workers.

    • A bug was fixed that SLDAModel.make_doc() doesn't support missing values for y.
    • Now SLDAModel fully supports missing values for response variables y. Documents with missing values (NaN) are included in modeling topic, but excluded from regression of response variables.

  • 0.5.0 (2019-12-30)

    • Now PAModel.infer() returns both topic distribution nd sub-topic distribution.
    • New methods get_sub_topics and get_sub_topic_dist were added into Document. (for PAModel)
    • New parameter parallel was added for LDAModel.train() and LDAModel.infer() method. You can select parallelism algorithm by changing this parameter.
    • ParallelScheme.PARTITION, a new algorithm, was added. It works efficiently when the number of workers is large, the number of topics or the size of vocabulary is big.
    • A bug where rm_top didn't work at min_cf < 2 was fixed.

var COPY_MERGE

Use Copy and Merge algorithm from AD-LDA. It consumes RAM in proportion to the number of workers. This has advantages when you have a small number of workers and a small number of topics and vocabulary sizes in the model. Prior to version 0.5, all models used this algorithm by default.

var DEFAULT

tomotopy chooses the best available parallelism scheme for your model

var NONE

Turn off multi-threading for Gibbs sampling at training or inference. Operations other than Gibbs sampling may use multithreading.

var PARTITION

Use Partitioning algorithm from PCGS. It consumes only twice as much RAM as a single-threaded algorithm, regardless of the number of workers. This has advantages when you have a large number of workers or a large number of topics and vocabulary sizes in the model.

class SLDAModel (*args, **kwargs)

This type provides supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation(sLDA) topic model and its implementation is based on following papers:

  • Mcauliffe, J. D., & Blei, D. M. (2008). Supervised topic models. In Advances in neural information processing systems (pp. 121-128).
  • Python version implementation using Gibbs sampling : https://github.com/Savvysherpa/slda

Added in version: 0.2.0

SLDAModel(tw=TermWeight.ONE, min_cf=0, rm_top=0, k=1, vars='', alpha=0.1, eta=0.01, mu=[], nu_sq=[], glm_param=[], seed=None)

Parameters

tw : int or TermWeight
term weighting scheme in TermWeight. The default value is TermWeight.ONE
min_cf : int
minimum frequency of words. Words with a smaller collection frequency than min_cf are excluded from the model. The default value is 0, which means no words are excluded.
rm_top : int
the number of top words to be removed. If you want to remove too common words from model, you can set this value to 1 or more. The default value is 0, which means no top words are removed.
k : int
the number of topics between 1 ~ 32767.
vars : iterable of str

indicating types of response variables. The length of vars determines the number of response variables, and each element of vars determines a type of the variable. The list of available types is like below:

  • 'l': linear variable (any real value)
  • 'b': binary variable (0 or 1)
alpha : float
hyperparameter of Dirichlet distribution for document-topic
eta : float
hyperparameter of Dirichlet distribution for topic-word
mu : float or list of float
mean of regression coefficients
nu_sq : float or list of float
variance of regression coefficients
glm_param : float or list of float
the parameter for Generalized Linear Model
seed : int
random seed. The default value is a random number from std::random_device{} in C++

Ancestors

Instance variables

var f

the number of response variables (read-only)

Methods

def add_doc(self, words, y=[])

Add a new document into the model instance with response variables y and return an index of the inserted document.

Parameters

words : iterable of str
an iterable of str
y : list of float

response variables of this document. The length of y must be equal to the number of response variables of the model (SLDAModel.f).

Added in version: 0.5.1

If you have a missing value, you can set the item as NaN. Documents with NaN variables are included in modeling topics, but excluded from regression.

def estimate(self, doc)

Return the estimated response variable for doc. If doc is an unseen document instance which is generated by SLDAModel.make_doc() method, it should be inferred by LDAModel.infer() method first.

Parameters

doc : Document
an instance of document or a list of them to be used for estimating response variables
def get_regression_coef(self, var_id)

Return the regression coefficient of the response variable var_id.

Parameters

var_id : int
indicating the reponse variable, in range [0, f)
def get_var_type(self, var_id)

Return the type of the response variable var_id. 'l' means linear variable, 'b' means binary variable.

def make_doc(self, words, y=[])

Return a new Document instance for an unseen document with words and response variables y that can be used for LDAModel.infer() method.

Parameters

words : iterable of str
an iterable of str
y : list of float
response variables of this document. The length of y doesn't have to be equal to the number of response variables of the model (SLDAModel.f). If the length of y is shorter than SLDAModel.f, missing values are automatically filled with NaN.
