MPI/OpenMP Hybrid Parallel Inference for Latent Dirichlet Allocation
Shotaro Tora, Koji Eguchi (Kobe Univ.) IBISML2010-118
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In recent years, probabilistic topic models have been applied to various kinds of data including text data, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is one of the well-known topic models. Variational Bayesian inference or Collapsed Gibbs sampling is often employed to estimate parameters in LDA; however, these inference methods require high computational cost for large-scale data. Therefore, high efficiency technology is needed for this purpose. In this paper, we make use of parallel computation technology for the sake of efficient Collapsed Gibbs sampling inference for LDA. We assume to use a shared memory cluster (SMP cluster), which is widely used in recent years. In prior work of efficient inference for LDA, MPI or OpenMP has been used alone. On the other hand, for a SMP cluster it is more suitable to adopt hybrid parallel programming models which use message passing for communication between SMP nodes and loop directives for parallelization within each SMP node. In this paper, we developed a MPI/OpenMP hybrid parallel inference method for LDA, and achieved remarkable speed-up under various settings of a SMP cluster.
