tomotopy is a Python extension of tomoto (Topic Modeling Tool) which is a Gibbs-sampling based topic model library written in C++. It utilizes a vectorization of modern CPUs for maximizing speed. The current version of tomoto supports several major topic models including
- Latent Dirichlet Allocation (tomotopy.LDAModel)
- Labeled LDA (tomotopy.LLDAModel)
- Partially Labeled LDA (tomotopy.PLDAModel)
- Supervised LDA (tomotopy.SLDAModel)
- Dirichlet Multinomial Regression (tomotopy.DMRModel)
- Generalized Dirichlet Multinomial Regression (tomotopy.GDMRModel)
- Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (tomotopy.HDPModel)
- Hierarchical LDA (tomotopy.HLDAModel)
- Multi Grain LDA (tomotopy.MGLDAModel)
- Pachinko Allocation (tomotopy.PAModel)
- Hierarchical PA (tomotopy.HPAModel)
- Correlated Topic Model (tomotopy.CTModel)
- Dynamic Topic Model (tomotopy.DTModel)
- Pseudo-document based Topic Model (tomotopy.PTModel).

You can install tomotopy easily using pip. (https://pypi.org/project/tomotopy/)
$ pip install --upgrade pip $ pip install tomotopy
The supported OS and Python versions are:
- Linux (x86-64) with Python >= 3.6
- macOS >= 10.13 with Python >= 3.6
- Windows 7 or later (x86, x86-64) with Python >= 3.6
- Other OS with Python >= 3.6: Compilation from source code required (with c++14 compatible compiler)
After installing, you can start tomotopy by just importing.
import tomotopy as tp print(tp.isa) # prints 'avx2', 'avx', 'sse2' or 'none'
Currently, tomotopy can exploits AVX2, AVX or SSE2 SIMD instruction set for maximizing performance. When the package is imported, it will check available instruction sets and select the best option. If tp.isa tells none, iterations of training may take a long time. But, since most of modern Intel or AMD CPUs provide SIMD instruction set, the SIMD acceleration could show a big improvement.
Here is a sample code for simple LDA training of texts from 'sample.txt' file.
import tomotopy as tp mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20) for line in open('sample.txt'): mdl.add_doc(line.strip().split()) for i in range(0, 100, 10): mdl.train(10) print('Iteration: {}\tLog-likelihood: {}'.format(i, mdl.ll_per_word)) for k in range(mdl.k): print('Top 10 words of topic #{}'.format(k)) print(mdl.get_topic_words(k, top_n=10)) mdl.summary()
tomotopy uses Collapsed Gibbs-Sampling(CGS) to infer the distribution of topics and the distribution of words. Generally CGS converges more slowly than Variational Bayes(VB) that gensim's LdaModel uses, but its iteration can be computed much faster. In addition, tomotopy can take advantage of multicore CPUs with a SIMD instruction set, which can result in faster iterations.
Following chart shows the comparison of LDA model's running time between tomotopy and gensim. The input data consists of 1000 random documents from English Wikipedia with 1,506,966 words (about 10.1 MB). tomotopy trains 200 iterations and gensim trains 10 iterations.
Performance in Intel i5-6600, x86-64 (4 cores)
Performance in Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4, x86-64 (8 cores, 16 threads)
Although tomotopy iterated 20 times more, the overall running time was 5~10 times faster than gensim. And it yields a stable result.
It is difficult to compare CGS and VB directly because they are totaly different techniques. But from a practical point of view, we can compare the speed and the result between them. The following chart shows the log-likelihood per word of two models' result.
The SIMD instruction set has a great effect on performance. Following is a comparison between SIMD instruction sets.
Fortunately, most of recent x86-64 CPUs provide AVX2 instruction set, so we can enjoy the performance of AVX2.
tomotopy provides save and load method for each topic model class, so you can save the model into the file whenever you want, and re-load it from the file.
import tomotopy as tp mdl = tp.HDPModel() for line in open('sample.txt'): mdl.add_doc(line.strip().split()) for i in range(0, 100, 10): mdl.train(10) print('Iteration: {}\tLog-likelihood: {}'.format(i, mdl.ll_per_word)) # save into file mdl.save('sample_hdp_model.bin') # load from file mdl = tp.HDPModel.load('sample_hdp_model.bin') for k in range(mdl.k): if not mdl.is_live_topic(k): continue print('Top 10 words of topic #{}'.format(k)) print(mdl.get_topic_words(k, top_n=10)) # the saved model is HDP model, # so when you load it by LDA model, it will raise an exception mdl = tp.LDAModel.load('sample_hdp_model.bin')
When you load the model from a file, a model type in the file should match the class of methods.
See more at tomotopy.LDAModel.save and tomotopy.LDAModel.load methods.
We can use Topic Model for two major purposes. The basic one is to discover topics from a set of documents as a result of trained model, and the more advanced one is to infer topic distributions for unseen documents by using trained model.
We named the document in the former purpose (used for model training) as document in the model, and the document in the later purpose (unseen document during training) as document out of the model.
In tomotopy, these two different kinds of document are generated differently. A document in the model can be created by tomotopy.LDAModel.add_doc method. add_doc can be called before tomotopy.LDAModel.train starts. In other words, after train called, add_doc cannot add a document into the model because the set of document used for training has become fixed.
To acquire the instance of the created document, you should use tomotopy.LDAModel.docs like:
mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20) idx = mdl.add_doc(words) if idx < 0: raise RuntimeError("Failed to add doc") doc_inst = mdl.docs[idx] # doc_inst is an instance of the added document
A document out of the model is generated by tomotopy.LDAModel.make_doc method. make_doc can be called only after train starts. If you use make_doc before the set of document used for training has become fixed, you may get wrong results. Since make_doc returns the instance directly, you can use its return value for other manipulations.
mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20) # add_doc ... mdl.train(100) doc_inst = mdl.make_doc(unseen_doc) # doc_inst is an instance of the unseen document
If a new document is created by tomotopy.LDAModel.make_doc, its topic distribution can be inferred by the model. Inference for unseen document should be performed using tomotopy.LDAModel.infer method.
mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20) # add_doc ... mdl.train(100) doc_inst = mdl.make_doc(unseen_doc) topic_dist, ll = mdl.infer(doc_inst) print("Topic Distribution for Unseen Docs: ", topic_dist) print("Log-likelihood of inference: ", ll)
The infer method can infer only one instance of tomotopy.Document or a list of instances of tomotopy.Document. See more at tomotopy.LDAModel.infer.
Since version 0.5.0, tomotopy allows you to choose a parallelism algorithm. The algorithm provided in versions prior to 0.4.2 is COPY_MERGE, which is provided for all topic models. The new algorithm PARTITION, available since 0.5.0, makes training generally faster and more memory-efficient, but it is available at not all topic models.
The following chart shows the speed difference between the two algorithms based on the number of topics and the number of workers.
Performance changes by version are shown in the following graph. The time it takes to run the LDA model train with 1000 iteration was measured. (Docs: 11314, Vocab: 60382, Words: 2364724, Intel Xeon Gold 5120 @2.2GHz)
Since version 0.6.0, a new method tomotopy.LDAModel.set_word_prior has been added. It allows you to control word prior for each topic. For example, we can set the weight of the word 'church' to 1.0 in topic 0, and the weight to 0.1 in the rest of the topics by following codes. This means that the probability that the word 'church' is assigned to topic 0 is 10 times higher than the probability of being assigned to another topic. Therefore, most of 'church' is assigned to topic 0, so topic 0 contains many words related to 'church'. This allows to manipulate some topics to be placed at a specific topic number.
import tomotopy as tp mdl = tp.LDAModel(k=20) # add documents into `mdl` # setting word prior mdl.set_word_prior('church', [1.0 if k == 0 else 0.1 for k in range(20)])
See word_prior_example in example.py for more details.
