How to calculate the log likelihood of an LDA model in wowpal wabbit

I am a typical, regular, everyday R user. R is very useful lda.collapsed.gibbs.sampler

in lda

. The tha package uses a Gibbs convolved sampler that fits the Latent Dirichlet Distribution (LDA) model and returns the latent parameter point estimates using the state at the last iteration of the Gibbs sample.

This feature also has a nifty parameter compute.log.likelihood

that, when set, TRUE

will cause the sampler to compute a log word probability (with a constant factor) after each sweep over the variables. This is useful for evaluating convergence and comparing different LDA models (targeting different topics).

I am wondering if there is such an option in the vowpal_wabbit LDA model ?
