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

Data Clustering: 50 Years Beyond K-means
TL;DR: Cluster analysis as mentioned in this paper is the formal study of algorithms and methods for grouping objects according to measured or perceived intrinsic characteristics, which is one of the most fundamental modes of understanding and learning.

The spread of true and false news online
TL;DR: A large-scale analysis of tweets reveals that false rumors spread further and faster than the truth, and false news was more novel than true news, which suggests that people were more likely to share novel information.

Factorization meets the neighborhood: a multifaceted collaborative filtering model
TL;DR: The factor and neighborhood models can now be smoothly merged, thereby building a more accurate combined model and a new evaluation metric is suggested, which highlights the differences among methods, based on their performance at a top-K recommendation task.
