Integrating Document Clustering and Topic Modeling
Document clustering and topic modeling are two closely related tasks which
can mutually benefit each other. Topic modeling can project documents into a
topic space which facilitates effective document clustering. Cluster labels
discovered by document clustering can be incorporated into topic models to
extract local topics specific to each cluster and global topics shared by all
clusters. In this paper, we propose a multi-grain clustering topic model
(MGCTM) which integrates document clustering and topic modeling into a unified
framework and jointly performs the two tasks to achieve the overall best
performance. Our model tightly couples two components: a mixture component used
for discovering latent groups in document collection and a topic model
component used for mining multi-grain topics including local topics specific to
each cluster and global topics shared across clusters.We employ variational
inference to approximate the posterior of hidden variables and learn model
parameters. Experiments on two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our
model.Comment: Appears in Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Conference on Uncertainty

Bayesian Nonparametric Multilevel Clustering with Group-Level Contexts
We present a Bayesian nonparametric framework for multilevel clustering which
utilizes group-level context information to simultaneously discover
low-dimensional structures of the group contents and partitions groups into
clusters. Using the Dirichlet process as the building block, our model
constructs a product base-measure with a nested structure to accommodate
content and context observations at multiple levels. The proposed model
possesses properties that link the nested Dirichlet processes (nDP) and the
Dirichlet process mixture models (DPM) in an interesting way: integrating out
all contents results in the DPM over contexts, whereas integrating out
group-specific contexts results in the nDP mixture over content variables. We
provide a Polya-urn view of the model and an efficient collapsed Gibbs
inference procedure. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate
the advantage of utilizing context information via our model in both text and
image domains.Comment: Full version of ICML 201
Topic modeling for entity linking using keyphrase
This paper proposes an Entity Linking system that applies a topic modeling ranking. We apply a novel approach in order to provide new relevant elements to the model. These elements are keyphrases related to the queries and gathered from a huge Wikipedia-based knowledge resourcePeer ReviewedPostprint (author’s final draft
