Tech reports

★ Samuel Kaski, Arto Klami, Jussi Kujala (editor), Shiau Hong Lim, Chiwei Wang. Report on potential improvements obtainable by data fusion. PinView FP7-216529 Deliverable D2.1, 2010. Despite the name contains material on e.g. performing matrix factorization with stochastic gradient and on how much data is needed to achieve a desired accuracy.

Manuscripts / unfinished work

This manuscript studies a topic model which is not probabilistic but optimizes an objective function that promotes sparseness (Dirichlet prior in LDA is linearised near zero). The paper is here. There's also reference code here. Note that software such as GibbsLDA++ is good on single core, and more likely stable ;) Also, PLSI works well if the number of parameters of the model is not large compared to data size, and it parallelizes well.
