Probabilistic topic models
2011
Proceedings of the 17th ACM SIGKDD International Conference Tutorials on - KDD '11 Tutorials
Probabilistic topic models are a suite of algorithms whose aim is to discover the hidden thematic structure in large archives of documents. In this article, we review the main ideas of this field, survey the current state-of-the-art, and describe some promising future directions. We first describe latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) [8] , which is the simplest kind of topic model. We discuss its connections to probabilistic modeling, and describe two kinds of algorithms for topic discovery. We
