Release Date: 2019-06-13 // about 3 years ago

    • Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
    • 👯 Word embeddings (word2vec clone)
    • 👍 PagedInstanceList supports iteration correctly
    • lebiathan added stratified sampling of InstanceList
    • This file!

    🔄 Changed

    • 🔀 All merging and propagation of sampling statistics for topic modeling is now multi-threaded (if num-threads is more than 1), leading to a 5-10% speed boost.
