LDA*: A Robust and Large-scale Topic Modeling System
Summary: LDA* is a production topic-modeling service scaling to 1.8TB datasets across thousands of heterogeneous machines. It combines a document-length-aware hybrid sampler with an asymmetric parameter server, exploiting workload and communication tradeoffs for up to 10× speedups.
