Computational Linear Algebra 2: Topic Modelling with SVD & NMF
Course materials available here: https://github.com/fastai/numerical-linear-algebra
We use a dataset of messages posted on discussion forums to identify topics. A term-document matrix represents the frequency of the vocabulary in the documents. We factor it using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF).
We use PyTorch as a GPU-accelerated alternative to Numpy to speed things up, and we cover Stochastic Gradient Descent, a very useful, general purpose optimization algorithm.
This video is fast-paced, so be sure to watch Lesson 3 for a review and Q&A of the topics covered here.
