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

Unsupervised prediction of citation influences
TL;DR: A probabilistic topic model is devised that explains the generation of documents and incorporates the aspects of topical innovation and topical inheritance via citations, and its ability to predict the strength of influence of citations against manually rated citations is evaluated.

Extracting urban functional regions from points of interest and human activities on location-based social networks
TL;DR: This research develops a statistical framework to help discover semantically meaningful topics and functional regions based on the co‐occurrence patterns of POI types and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology by identifying distinctive types of latent topics and by extracting urban functional regions.
