“What if my a priori understanding of the distribution of dog breed groups is inaccurate? Is my LDA model doomed to failure?
My wife asked.
Welcome back to part 2 of the series, where I share my journey explaining LDA to my wife. In the previous blog post, we discussed how LDA works and how it can be understood as a dog pedigree model.
This time, let's delve into the iterative adaptation process of LDA!
Part 1 (link):
- How does LDA work?
- How to explain LDA to a non-technical person?
Part 2 (We're here!):
- How do you improve LDA iteratively?
- How does LDA converge?
- Bonus: Get your LDA cheat sheet here!
Part 3:
- When to use LDA and when not to?
- How can we use it in Python?
- What are the alternatives and variants of LDAs (excluding LLMs)?
Let's get started.
If you haven't read part 1 of the series, I highly recommend reading it first as we will expand on that understanding.
