--use-ngrams gone? #4

Open emeeks opened 10 years ago

When I try the --use-ngrams option, I receive Unrecognized option 6: --use-ngrams

The TopicalNGrams code is still there, but it's not immediately accessible from the "train-topics" interface anymore. But you shouldn't use it anyway.

The old class that parsed "train-topics" commands switched between several models based on which command-line parameters were activated. As a result, not all combinations of parameters were meaningful, and many functions weren't supported by different models. It was very confusing. Now train-topics only gives you either plain LDA or polylingual LDA, and everything should be supported.

TNG didn't make the cut. I don't recommend it anyway. What I do, strongly, recommend, is identifying multi-word terms in pre-processing. There's a pipe for doing this, but it's not an option in "import-file" yet.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you suggest identifying multi-word terms in pre-processing? When you say that there's a pipe for doing this, to which class are you referring?
