Choosing the value of alpha and beta #15

Open deepikay opened 7 years ago

deepikay commented 7 years ago

In the research paper, it is mentioned that alpha = 0.05 for short text collections and =50/K for normal text collection and beta = 0.01. Should we proceed with the default values mentioned in the runExample.sh?

Yes, this parameter setting is fine in most of data I tested. However, the best values of these parameters depend on data.
