Algorithms of the LDA model [REPORT].

We review three algorithms for Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). Two of them are variational inference algorithms: Variational Bayesian inference and Online Variational Bayesian inference and one is Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm -- Collapsed Gibbs sampling. We compare their time complexity and performance. We find that online variational Bayesian inference is the fastest algorithm and still returns reasonably good results.
