Hi Everyone,

I'm posting this as my original message did not seem to appear on the mailing
list, I'm very sorry if I have done this in error.

I'm doing this to then use the topics to train a maxent algorithm to predict the
classes of documents given their topic mixtures. Any further aid in this
direction would be appreciated!

I've been trying to extract the topics out of my run of cvb. Here's what I did
so far.

Ok, so I still don't know how to output the topics, but I have worked out how to
get the cvb and what I think are the document vectors, however I'm not having
any luck dumping them, so help here would still be appreciated!

I set the values of:
    export MAHOUT_HOME=/home/sgeadmin/mahout
    export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
    export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/conf
on the master otherwise none of this works.

So first I uploaded the documents using starclusters put:
    starcluster put mycluster text_train /home/sgeadmin/
    starcluster put mycluster text_test /home/sgeadmin/

Then I added them to hadoop's hbase filesystem:
    dumbo put /home/sgeadmin/text_train /user/sgeadmin/ -hadoop starcluster

Then I called Mahout's seqdirectory to turn the text into sequence files
    $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seqdirectory --input /user/sgeadmin/text_train --
output /user/sgeadmin/text_seq -c UTF-8 -ow

Then I called Mahout's seq2parse to turn them into vectors
    $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seq2sparse -i text_seq -o /user/sgeadmin/text_vec -
wt tf -a org.apache.lucene.analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer -ow

Finally I called cvb, I believe that the -dt flag states where the inferred
topics should go, but because I haven't yet been able to dump them I can't
confirm this.
    $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout cvb -i /user/sgeadmin/text_vec/tf-vectors -o
/user/sgeadmin/text_lda -k 100 -nt 29536 -x 20 -dict
/user/sgeadmin/text_vec/dictionary.file-0 -dt /user/sgeadmin/text_cvb_document -
mt /user/sgeadmin/text_states

The -k flag is the number of topics, the -nt flag is the size of the dictionary,
I computed this by counting the number of entries of the dictionary.file-0
inside the vectors(in this case under /user/sgeadmin/text_vec) and -x is the
number of iterations.

If you know how to get what the document topic probabilities are from here, help
would be most appreciated!

Folcon

Hi Folcon,
 
In the folder you specified for the –dt option for cvb command
there should be sequence files with the document to topic associations (Key:
IntWritable, Value: VectorWritable).  You
can dump in text format as: mahout seqdumper –s <sequence file>
So in text output from seqdumper, the key is a document id and the vector contains
the topics and associated scores associated with the document.  I think all topics are listed for each
document but many with near zero score.
In my case I used rowid to convert keys of original sparse
document vectors from Text to Integer before running cvb and this generates a mapping file so I know the textual
keys that correspond to the numeric document ids (since my original document ids were file names and I created named vectors).
Hope this helps.
Dan

Yeah, this is correct, although this:

is not as good as using vectordumper:

   mahout vectordump -s <sequence file> --dictionary <path to
dictionary.file-0>
\
       --dictionaryType seqfile --vectorSize <num entries per topic you
want to see> -sort

This joins your topic vectors with the dictionary, then picks out the top k
terms (with their
probabilities) for each topic and prints them to the console (or to the
file you specify with
an --output option).

*although* I notice now that in trunk when I just checked,
VectorDumper.java had a bug
in it for "vectorSize" - line 175 asks for cmdline option "numIndexesPerVector"
not
vectorSize, ack!  So I took the liberty of fixing that, but you'll need to
"svn up" and rebuild
your jar before using vectordump like this.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for replying, the problem is whenever I use any -s flag I get the
error "Unexpected -s while processing Job-Specific Options:"

Also I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the output of -dt

sgeadmin@master:~$ dumbo ls /user/sgeadmin/text_cvb_document -hadoop
starcluster
Found 3 items
-rw-r--r--   3 sgeadmin supergroup          0 2012-07-29 16:51

Should I be using a newer version of mahout? I've just been using the 0.7
distribution so far as apparently the compiled versions are missing parts
that the distributed ones have.

Kind Regards,
Folcon

Folcon,
 
I'm still using Mahout 0.6 so don't know much about changes in 0.7.
 
Your output folder for "dt" looks correct.  The relevant data would be in  /user/sgeadmin/text_cvb_document/part-m-00000 which is what I would be passing to a "-s" option.  But I see it says size is only 97 so that looks suspicious.  So you can just view file (for starters) as: mahout seqdumper -s /user/sgeadmin/text_cvb_document/part-m-00000.  And the vector dumper command (as Jake pointed out) has a lot more options to post-process the data but you may want to first just see what is in that file.
 
Dan

Thanks Dan and Jake,

The output I got from $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seqdumper -i /user/sgeadmin
/text_cvb_document/part-m-00000 is:

Input Path: /user/sgeadmin/text_cvb_document/part-m-00000
Key class: class org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable Value Class: class
org.apache.mahout.math.VectorWritable
Count: 0

I'm not certain what went wrong.

Kind Regards,
Folcon

Yep something went wrong, most likely with the clustering.  part file is empty.  Should look something like this:
 
Key class: class org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable Value Class: class org.apache.mahout.math.VectorWritable
Key: 0: Value: {0:0.06475650422868284,1:0.010728747158503565,2:0.005463535698651016,3:0.023451709705466457}
Key: 1: Value: {0:0.01838885430227092,1:0.05068404879399544,2:0.002110418548647133,3:0.005566514441743756}
Key: 2: Value: {0:0.018575587065216153,1:1.236602313900785E-5,2:8.654629660837919E-6,3:5.820637306957196E-6}
...
...
 
Key refers to a document id and the Value are topic ids:weights assigned to document id.
 
So you need to figure out where things went wrong.  I'm assume folder /user/sgeadmin/text_lda also has empty part files?  Assuming parts files are there run seqdumper on one.  Should have data like the above except in this case the key will be a topic id and the vector will be term ids:weights.
 
You can also check folder /user/sgeadmin/text_vec/tf-vectors to make sure sparse vectors were generated for your input to cvb.

Thanks Dan and Jake,

The output I got from $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seqdumper -i /user/sgeadmin/text_cvb_document/part-m-00000 is:

Input Path: /user/sgeadmin/text_cvb_document/part-m-00000

I'm not certain what went wrong.

Hey Everyone,

Ok not certain why   $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seqdirectory --input /user/
sgeadmin/text_train --output /user/sgeadmin/text_seq -c UTF-8 -ow  didn't
produce sequence files, just looking inside text_seq only gives me:

SEQ#6;#25;org.apache.hadoop.io.Text#25;org.apache.hadoop.io.Text

and that's it. Any ideas what I've been doing wrong? Maybe it's because I
have the files nested in the folder by class, for example a tree view of
the directory would look like.

text_train -+
                | A -+
                       | 100
                       | 101
                       | 103
                | B -+
                       | 102
                       | 105
                       | 106

So it's not picking them up? Or perhaps something else? I'm going to try
some variations to see what happens.

Thanks for the help so far!

Folcon

So part-r-00000 inside text_vec is
still SEQ#6;#25;org.apache.hadoop.io.Text%org.apache.mahout.math.VectorWritable
even after moving all the training files into a single folder.

Folcon,
 
seqdirectory should also read files in subfolders.
 
Did you verify that recent seqdirectory command did in fact generate non-empty sequence files?  I believe seqdirectory command just assumes  each file contains a single document (no concatenated documents per file), and that each file contains basic text.
 
If it did generate sequence files this time, I am assume your folder "/user/sgeadmin/text_seq" was copied to hdfs (if not already there) before you ran seq2sparse on it?
 
Dan

So part-r-00000 inside text_vec is
still SEQorg.apache.hadoop.io.Text%org.apache.mahout.math.VectorWritable
even after moving all the training files into a single folder.

Hi Dan,

It's good to know that seqdirectory reads files in subfolders and I've
dumped out some of the values in the hopes that they will be
enlightening, The values seem to be missing for both the text_seq and
the tokenized-documents.

So rerunning some of the commands:
$MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seqdirectory --input /user/sgeadmin/text_train
--output /user/sgeadmin/text_seq -c UTF-8 -ow
$MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seq2sparse -i /user/sgeadmin/text_seq -o
/user/sgeadmin/text_vec -wt tf -a
org.apache.lucene.analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer -ow

And then doing a seqdumper of text_seq:
SEQ org.apache.hadoop.io.Text org.apache.hadoop.io.Text

Hi Folcon,
 
There is no reason to rerun seq2sparse as it is clear something is wrong with the text files being processed by seqdirectory command.
 
Based on the keys, I'm assuming the files full path to the input files are names like /high/59734, etc.  Did you look inside the files to make sure there is text in them?
 
As a test, just create a folder with a simple text file and run that through seqdirectory and I'll bet you will then see output from seqdumper command (from seqdirectory output).
 
Thanks, Dan

Thanks Dan,

Ok, now for some strange reason it(seq and vec appear to have values now,
will test the complete cvb later, I should head to bed...) appears to be
working, The only things I think I changed was I stopped using absolute
paths(referring to text_seq as opposed to /user/root/text_seq) and I'm
using root now instead of sgeadmin.

Folcon

Hi Dan,

I've managed to get the text_seq and text_vec generated properly, however
when I run:

$MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout cvb -i /user/root/text_vec/tf-vectors -o
/user/root/text_lda -k 100 -nt 29536 -x 20 -dict
/user/root/text_vec/dictionary.file-0 -dt /user/root/text_cvb_document -
mt /user/root/text_states

I get:

Hi Folcon,
 
I had that same error some time ago when I first started working with CVB. 
 
CVB requires that the key of sparse vectors be Integer not Text.  You can convert textual keys from the seq2sparse output using the rowid command, e.g.,
 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.mahout.user/13112
 
That posts talks about a different issue but the sample could I posted is what I used.  The "mv" command was used to move a file out that was created by rowid, that specifies the mapping between the original text ids (most likely file names) to the new integers created by rowid.
 
Instead of moving out the mapping file I could probably just have run cvb like this:
 
$MAHOUT cvb \
    -i ${WORK_DIR}/sparse-vectors-cvb/Matrix \
    -o ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-cvb -k 150 -ow -x 10 \

Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for that, it really helped =D...

Two questions, firstly I keep getting java heap errors when running some of
the map reduce jobs, I've increased the java heap by adding:

<property>
   <name>mapred.child.java.opts</name>
   <value>
     -Xmx4096M
   </value>
 </property>

to $HADOOP_HOME/conf/mapred-site.xml, but it doesn't seem to have gotten
rid of them or it sometimes errors with a nonzero status error.

The other question is how do I now run inference with this text_lda, all
the labels etc are now numeric, all the documents in my corpus belong to
one of several labels, so my original intent was to generate the topic
model and then run inference on each document to work out where it belongs.
Then feed in those values to an sgd logistic regression algorithm.

Kind Regards,
Folcon

Folcon,
 
I believe that is the way to kick up the heap space.  4096M is quite large so I'm sure that should be fine.  I believe you have to re-start Hadoop after making the config changes for them to take effect.
 
As far as determining what documents the numeric ids correspond to....if you ran rowid to convert the text ids to numeric, a mapping file was also created called docIndex that specifies the mapping between numeric and original text ids.
 
Dan
