I am able to run the LDA code from gensim and got the top 10 topics with their respective keywords.
Now I would like to go a step further to see how accurate the LDA algo is by seeing which document they cluster into each topic. Is this possible in gensim LDA?
Basically i would like to do something like this, but in python and using gensim.
LDA with topicmodels, how can I see which topics different documents belong to?
Using the probabilities of the topics, you can try to set some threshold and use it as a clustering baseline, but i am sure there are better ways to do clustering than this 'hacky' method.

Just to make it clearer:
# Find the threshold, let's set the threshold to be 1/#clusters,
# To prove that the threshold is sane, we average the sum of all probabilities:
scores = []
for doc in lda_corpus
for topic in doc:
for topic_id, score in topic:
scores.append(score)
threshold = sum(scores)/len(scores)
The above code is sum the score of all words and in all topics for all documents. Then normalize the sum by the number of scores.
If you want to use the trick of
cluster1 = [j for i,j in zip(lda_corpus,documents) if i[0][1] > threshold]
cluster2 = [j for i,j in zip(lda_corpus,documents) if i[1][1] > threshold]
cluster3 = [j for i,j in zip(lda_corpus,documents) if i[2][1] > threshold]
in the previous answer by alvas, make sure to set minimum_probability=0 in LdaModel
gensim.models.ldamodel.LdaModel(corpus,
num_topics=num_topics, id2word = dictionary,
passes=2, minimum_probability=0)
Otherwise the dimension of lda_corpus and documents may not agree since gensim will suppress any corpus with probability lower than minimum_probability.
An alternative way to group documents into topics is to assign topics according to the maximum probability
lda_corpus = [max(prob,key=lambda y:y[1])
for prob in lda[mm] ]
playlists = [[] for i in xrange(topic_num])]
for i, x in enumerate(lda_corpus):
playlists[x[0]].append(documents[i])
Note lda[mm] is roughly speaking a list of lists, or 2D matrix. The number of rows is the number of documents and the number of columns is the number of topics. Each matrix element is a tuple of the form (3,0.82) for example. Here 3 refers to the topic index and 0.82 the corresponding probability to be of that topic. By default, minimum_probability=0.01 and any tuple with probability less than 0.01 is omitted in lda[mm]. You can set it to be 1/#topics if you use the grouping method with maximum probability.
gensimis a cool and simple library. The dev, Radim is a also a nice guy to approach about his library. do you need something that cluster the documents by topics? – alvas
