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

Detecting Hate Speech in Social Media

TL;DR: The authors used character n-grams, word ngrams and word skip-gram features to detect hate speech in social media, while distinguishing this from general profanity and hate speech from each other.

Align, Disambiguate and Walk: A Unified Approach for Measuring Semantic Similarity
TL;DR: This work presents a unified approach to semantic similarity that operates at multiple levels, all the way from comparing word senses to comparing text documents, and leverages a common probabilistic representation over word senses in order to compare different types of linguistic data.

Multinomial Inverse Regression for Text Analysis
TL;DR: This article proposed a framework of sentiment-sufficient dimension reduction for text data using multinomial inverse regression and showed that logistic regression of phrase counts onto document annotations can be used to obtain low-dimensional document representations that are rich in sentiment information.

Mining business topics in source code using latent dirichlet allocation
TL;DR: Preliminary results indicate that LDA is able to identify some of the domain topics and is a satisfactory starting point for further manual refinement of topics, and a human assisted approach based on LDA for extracting domain topics from source code is proposed.

Indexing by Latent Semantic Analysis
TL;DR: A new method for automatic indexing and retrieval to take advantage of implicit higher-order structure in the association of terms with documents (“semantic structure”) in order to improve the detection of relevant documents on the basis of terms found in queries.
