LDA Topic Model
LDA Topic Model
- The document doesn't 100% belong to one topic.
LDA Topic Model
- Every topic has its own bag of words.
What to Solve
- documents → observed
- topic structure → hidden structure
- the topics
- per-document topic distributions
- the per-document per-word topic assignments
What to Solve
- observed documents -> hidden topic structure
- maximize the probability -> too complex
- focus the per-document per-word topic assignments
Gibbs Sampling
focus the per-document per-word topic assignments
2 Properties
- Articles are as monochromatic as possible.
- Words are as monochromatic as possible.
Coloring Problem
Gibbs Sampling
Topic id -> Topic
Limitation
Limitation
- # of the topic is fixed
- “bag of words” assumption
- the order of the words in the document does not matter
- require human to give topics according to words
