Latent dirichlet allocation
TLDR
This work proposes a generative model for text and other collections of discrete data that generalizes or improves on several previous models including naive Bayes/unigram, mixture of unigrams, and Hofmann's aspect model.Abstract:
We describe latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic model for collections of discrete data such as text corpora. LDA is a three-level hierarchical Bayesian model, in which each item of a collection is modeled as a finite mixture over an underlying set of topics. Each topic is, in turn, modeled as an infinite mixture over an underlying set of topic probabilities. In the context of text modeling, the topic probabilities provide an explicit representation of a document. We present efficient approximate inference techniques based on variational methods and an EM algorithm for empirical Bayes parameter estimation. We report results in document modeling, text classification, and collaborative filtering, comparing to a mixture of unigrams model and the probabilistic LSI model.read more

Adapting to User Interest Drift for POI Recommendation
TL;DR: This paper proposes a latent class probabilistic generative model Spatial-Temporal LDA (ST-LDA) to learn region-dependent personal interests according to the contents of their checked-in POIs at each region, and designs an effective attribute pruning algorithm to overcome the curse of dimensionality and support fast online recommendation for large-scale POI data.

Personalized Travel Package Recommendation
TL;DR: The experimental results show that the TAST model can effectively capture the unique characteristics of the travel data and the cocktail approach is thus much more effective than traditional recommendation methods for travel package recommendation.
