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

A biterm topic model for short texts
TL;DR: The approach can discover more prominent and coherent topics, and significantly outperform baseline methods on several evaluation metrics, and is found that BTM can outperform LDA even on normal texts, showing the potential generality and wider usage of the new topic model.

Multimodal distributional semantics
TL;DR: This work proposes a flexible architecture to integrate text- and image-based distributional information, and shows in a set of empirical tests that the integrated model is superior to the purely text-based approach, and it provides somewhat complementary semantic information with respect to the latter.
