Add parameters for alpha and beta values of the Dirichlet distributions #574

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The alpha values and the beta prior used for estimating the LDA topic model 
should be configurable. So far, the default values are always used (1.0 and 
0.01 respectively).

Solution:
Mallet takes two arguments:
- the sum of the alpha values over all topics
- one beta value for a single dimension of the Dirichlet prior.
These two values shall be passable as parameters to the Mallet component; if 
they are not given, the afore-mentioned defaults will be used further on.
