         Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.2, Hadoop 0.20.2, Mahout 0.3.

Hello,

Apologies if I have not labeled this correctly.

I have run a toy problem on Mahout 0.3 (locally) for LDA that I used to test 
Blei's c version of LDA that he posts on his site. It has an exact solution 
that the LDA should converge to.  Please see attached PDF that describes the 
intended output.

Is LDA working?  The following output indicates some sort of collapsing 
behavior to me.

T0      T1      T2      T3      T4
x       w       x       u       x

The intended output is (again, please see attached):

What tests do you run to make sure the output is correct?

Thank you,
Mike.
