Title
Group topic model: organizing topics into groups
Abstract
Latent Dirichlet allocation defines hidden topics to capture latent semantics in text documents. However, it assumes that all the documents are represented by the same topics, resulting in the "forced topic" problem. To solve this problem, we developed a group latent Dirichlet allocation (GLDA). GLDA uses two kinds of topics: local topics and global topics. The highly related local topics are organized into groups to describe the local semantics, whereas the global topics are shared by all the documents to describe the background semantics. GLDA uses variational inference algorithms for both offline and online data. We evaluated the proposed model for topic modeling and document clustering. Our experimental results indicated that GLDA can achieve a competitive performance when compared with state-of-the-art approaches.
