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

Learning Conditional Random Fields for Stereo
Daniel Scharstein,Chris Pal +1 more
TL;DR: This paper has constructed a large number of stereo datasets with ground-truth disparities, and a subset of these datasets are used to learn the parameters of conditional random fields (CRFs) and presents experimental results illustrating the potential of this approach for automatically learning the Parameters of models with richer structure than standard hand-tuned MRF models.

Solving the apparent diversity-accuracy dilemma of recommender systems
TL;DR: This paper introduces a new algorithm specifically to address the challenge of diversity and shows how it can be used to resolve this apparent dilemma when combined in an elegant hybrid with an accuracy-focused algorithm.

Evaluation methods for topic models
TL;DR: It is demonstrated experimentally that commonly-used methods are unlikely to accurately estimate the probability of held-out documents, and two alternative methods that are both accurate and efficient are proposed.

Topic sentiment mixture: modeling facets and opinions in weblogs
TL;DR: The proposed Topic-Sentiment Mixture (TSM) model can reveal the latent topical facets in a Weblog collection, the subtopics in the results of an ad hoc query, and their associated sentiments and could also provide general sentiment models that are applicable to any ad hoc topics.

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.
