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.

Bug localization using latent Dirichlet allocation

TL;DR: An effective static technique for automatic bug localization can be built around Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), and there is no significant relationship between the accuracy of the LDA-based technique and the size of the subject software system or the stability of its source code base.

Learning Discriminative Projections for Text Similarity Measures

TL;DR: A novel discriminative training method that projects the raw term vectors into a common, low-dimensional vector space, which not only outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches, but also achieves high accuracy at low dimensions and is thus more efficient.

Sequence-Aware Recommender Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of existing works that consider information from such sequentially ordered user-item interaction logs in the recommendation process and propose a categorization of the corresponding recommendation tasks and goals, summarize existing algorithmic solutions, discuss methodological approaches when benchmarking what they call sequence-aware recommender systems, and outline open challenges in the area.
