<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Gill Sans MT"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT"'>Here’s a link to a course that I found
about image categorization. I came across it when I was looking for info
about LDA (latent dirichlet allocation). Even though this info is about
images rather than text processing, it’s based on the same principles and
offers the clearest non-technical explanation of the algorithm that I’ve
found. I’m trying out LDA with my dataset, and I thought some of
you who are doing stuff with images might find it interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
