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

Active Learning by Labeling Features
TL;DR: This paper proposes an active learning approach in which the machine solicits "labels" on features rather than instances, and shows that this method outperforms passive learning with features as well as traditional active learning with instances.

Semantic Vectors: a Scalable Open Source Package and Online Technology Management Application.
Dominic Widdows,Kathleen Ferraro +1 more
TL;DR: The SemanticVectors package that efficiently creates semantic vectors for words and documents from a corpus of free text articles is described, which can play an important role in furthering research in distributional semantics, and can help to significantly reduce the current gap between good research results and valuable applications in production software.

Hyperfeatures : Multilevel Local Coding for Visual Recognition
Ankur Agarwal,Bill Triggs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multilevel visual representation, called hyperfeatures, is proposed to exploit spatial co-occurrence statistics at scales larger than their local input patches, which is designed to remedy the shortcomings of local appearance descriptors.

Personalized Fashion Recommendation with Visual Explanations based on Multimodal Attention Network: Towards Visually Explainable Recommendation
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a multimodal attention network for fashion recommendation based on both image region-level features and user review information to learn an attention model over many pre-segmented image regions, based on which they can understand where a user is really interested in on the image.

Tree-Structured Stick Breaking for Hierarchical Data
TL;DR: This paper uses nested stick-breaking processes to allow for trees of unbounded width and depth, where data can live at any node and are infinitely exchangeable, and applies the method to hierarchical clustering of images and topic modeling of text data.

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.
