Topic Models Conditioned on Arbitrary Features with Dirichlet-multinomial Regression
Although fully generative models have been successfully used to model the
contents of text documents, they are often awkward to apply to combinations of
text data and document metadata. In this paper we propose a
Dirichlet-multinomial regression (DMR) topic model that includes a log-linear
prior on document-topic distributions that is a function of observed features
of the document, such as author, publication venue, references, and dates. We
show that by selecting appropriate features, DMR topic models can meet or
exceed the performance of several previously published topic models designed
for specific data.Comment: Appears in Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth Conference on Uncertainty

A Comparative Study of Text Summarization on E-mail Data Using Unsupervised Learning Approaches
Over the last few years, email has met with enormous popularity. People send and receive a lot of messages every day, connect with colleagues and friends, share files and information. Unfortunately, the email overload outbreak has developed into a personal trouble for users as well as a financial concerns for businesses. Accessing an ever-increasing number of lengthy emails in the present generation has become a major concern for many users. Email text summarization is a promising approach to resolve this challenge. Email messages are general domain text, unstructured and not always well developed syntactically. Such elements introduce challenges for study in text processing, especially for the task of summarization. This research employs a quantitative and inductive methodologies to implement the Unsupervised learning models that addresses summarization task problem, to efficiently generate more precise summaries and to determine which approach of implementing Unsupervised clustering models outperform the best. The precision score from ROUGE-N metrics is used as the evaluation metrics in this research. This research evaluates the performance in terms of the precision score of four different approaches of text summarization by using various combinations of feature embedding technique like Word2Vec /BERT model and hybrid/conventional clustering algorithms. The results reveals that both the approaches of using Word2Vec and BERT feature embedding along with hybrid PHA-ClusteringGain k-Means algorithm achieved increase in the precision when compared with the conventional k-means clustering model. Among those hybrid approaches performed, the one using Word2Vec as feature embedding method attained 55.73% as maximum precision value
Deep Learning based Recommender System: A Survey and New Perspectives
With the ever-growing volume of online information, recommender systems have
been an effective strategy to overcome such information overload. The utility
of recommender systems cannot be overstated, given its widespread adoption in
many web applications, along with its potential impact to ameliorate many
problems related to over-choice. In recent years, deep learning has garnered
considerable interest in many research fields such as computer vision and
natural language processing, owing not only to stellar performance but also the
attractive property of learning feature representations from scratch. The
influence of deep learning is also pervasive, recently demonstrating its
effectiveness when applied to information retrieval and recommender systems
research. Evidently, the field of deep learning in recommender system is
flourishing. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of recent
research efforts on deep learning based recommender systems. More concretely,
we provide and devise a taxonomy of deep learning based recommendation models,
along with providing a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art. Finally,
we expand on current trends and provide new perspectives pertaining to this new
exciting development of the field.Comment: The paper has been accepted by ACM Computing Surveys.
