Tutorial on Probabilistic Topic Modeling: Additive Regularization for Stochastic Matrix Factorization
P. 29–46.
Konstantin Vorontsov, Anna Potapenko
Probabilistic topic modeling of text collections is a powerful tool for statistical text analysis. In this tutorial we introduce a novel non-Bayesian approach, called Additive Regularization of Topic Models. ARTM is free of redundant probabilistic assumptions and provides a simple inference for many combined and multi-objective topic models.

This study aims to compare the emotional and thematic differences in pro-vaccination and anti-vaccination discourse on the Russian social network VKontakte (VK), using Language Expectancy Theory (LET) as an interpretive lens. A computational approach was applied to analyze 18,239 posts from 229 anti-vaccination and 84 pro-vaccination communities, utilizing dictionary-based sentiment analysis and structural topic modeling. ...

Topic modeling is a widely used approach for clustering text documents, however, it possesses a set of parameters that must be determined by a user, for example, the number of topics. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for fast approximation of the optimal topic number that corresponds well to human judgment. Our method ...

Probabilistic topic models uncover the latent semantics of text collections and represent each document by a multinomial distribution over topics. Hierarchical models divide topics into subtopics recursively, thus simplifying information retrieval, browsing and understanding of large multidisciplinary collections. The most of existing approaches to hierarchy learning rely on Bayesian inference. This makes difficult the incorporation ...

Topic modeling is a powerful tool for analyzing large collections of user-generated web content, but it still suffers from problems with topic stability, which are especially important for social sciences. We evaluate stability for differenttopic models and propose a new model, granulated LDA,that samples short sequences of neighboring words at once. We show that gLDA ...

We derive two convergence results for a sequential alternating maximization procedure to approximate the maximizer of random functionals such as the realized log likelihood in MLE estimation. We manage to show that the sequence attains the same deviation properties as shown for the profile M-estimator by Andresen and Spokoiny (2013), that means a finite sample ...

The results of experimental study of adding bigrams and taking account of the similarity between them and unigrams are discussed. A novel PLSA-SIM algorithm based on a modification of the original PLSA (Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis) algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm incorporates bigrams and takes into account the similarity between them and unigram components. ...

The paper presents the results of experimental study of integrating word similarity and bigram collocations into topic models. First of all, we analyze a variety of word association measures in order to integrate top-ranked bigrams into topic models. Then we propose a modification of the original algorithm PLSA, which takes into account similar unigrams and ...

Observed polar motion consists of uniform circular motions at both positive (prograde) and negative (retrograde) frequencies. Generalized Euler–Liouville equations of Bizouard, taking into account Earth's triaxiality and asymmetry of the ocean tide, show that the corresponding retrograde and prograde circular excitations are coupled at any frequency. In this work, we reconstructed the polar motion excitation ...

Probabilistic topic modeling of text collections has been recently developed mainly within the framework of graphical models and Bayesian inference. In this paper we introduce an alternative semi-probabilistic approach, which we call additive regularization of topic models (ARTM). Instead of building a purely probabilistic generative model of text we regularize an ill-posed problem of stochastic matrix factorization ...

Probabilistic topic models discover a low-dimensional interpretable representation of text corpora by estimating a multinomial distribution over topics for each document and a multinomial distribution over terms for each topic. A uni ed family of expectation-maximization (EM) like algorithms with smoothing, sampling, sparsing, and robustness heuristics that can be used in any combinations is considered. The ...

We propose a generalized probabilistic topic model of text corpora which can incorporate heuristics of Bayesian regularization, sampling, frequent parameters update, and robustness in any combinations. Well- known models PLSA, LDA, CVB0, SWB, and many others can be considered as special cases of the proposed broad family of models. We propose the robust PLSA model ...

The aim of this article is to analyze the discursive background for the characters of teachers in the Soviet school story of the afterwar period. The 1,8 million words corpus for the study was compiled of the novels about school and schooling by 37 authors, written in 1940-s — 1980-s. The contents of the episodes ...
