The document discusses distributed machine learning examples such as topic modeling. Topic modeling involves discovering topics from large unstructured document collections and annotating documents with topics. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is an unsupervised probabilistic algorithm that can model how documents are generated from topics. Graphical models are used to represent LDA. Real inference with LDA involves fitting a 100-topic LDA model to science journal articles and analyzing the most frequent words in topics and topic proportions of an example article. Topic modeling can be used for text classification and finding patterns in data.
