Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) based topic modeling methods do not rely on model- or data-assumptions much. However, they are usually formulated as difficult optimization problems, which may suffer from bad local minima and high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a deep NMF (DNMF) topic modeling framework to alleviate the aforementioned problems. It first applies an unsupervised deep learning method to learn latent hierarchical structures of documents, under the assumption that if we could learn a good representation of documents by, e.g. a deep model, then the topic word discovery problem can be boosted. Then, it takes the output of the deep model to constrain a topic-document distribution for the discovery of the discriminant topic words, which not only improves the efficacy but also reduces the computational complexity over conventional unsupervised NMF methods. We constrain the topic-document distribution in three ways, which takes the advantages of the three major sub-categories of NMF -- basic NMF, structured NMF, and constrained NMF respectively. To overcome the weaknesses of deep neural networks in unsupervised topic modeling, we adopt a non-neural-network deep model -- multilayer bootstrap network. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a deep NMF model is used for unsupervised topic modeling. We have compared the proposed method with a number of representative references covering major branches of topic modeling on a variety of real-world text corpora. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method under various evaluation metrics.

We propose several new models for semi-supervised nonnegative matrix factorization (SSNMF) and provide motivation for SSNMF models as maximum likelihood estimators given specific distributions of uncertainty. We present multiplicative updates trainin g methods for each new model, and demonstrate the application of these models to classification, although they are flexible to other supervised learning tasks. We illustrate the promise of these models and training methods on both synthetic and real data, and achieve high classification accuracy on the 20 Newsgroups dataset.
The abundant sequential documents such as online archival, social media and news feeds are streamingly updated, where each chunk of documents is incorporated with smoothly evolving yet dependent topics. Such digital texts have attracted extensive res earch on dynamic topic modeling to infer hidden evolving topics and their temporal dependencies. However, most of the existing approaches focus on single-topic-thread evolution and ignore the fact that a current topic may be coupled with multiple relevant prior topics. In addition, these approaches also incur the intractable inference problem when inferring latent parameters, resulting in a high computational cost and performance degradation. In this work, we assume that a current topic evolves from all prior topics with corresponding coupling weights, forming the multi-topic-thread evolution. Our method models the dependencies between evolving topics and thoroughly encodes their complex multi-couplings across time steps. To conquer the intractable inference challenge, a new solution with a set of novel data augmentation techniques is proposed, which successfully discomposes the multi-couplings between evolving topics. A fully conjugate model is thus obtained to guarantee the effectiveness and efficiency of the inference technique. A novel Gibbs sampler with a backward-forward filter algorithm efficiently learns latent timeevolving parameters in a closed-form. In addition, the latent Indian Buffet Process (IBP) compound distribution is exploited to automatically infer the overall topic number and customize the sparse topic proportions for each sequential document without bias. The proposed method is evaluated on both synthetic and real-world datasets against the competitive baselines, demonstrating its superiority over the baselines in terms of the low per-word perplexity, high coherent topics, and better document time prediction.
Familia is an open-source toolkit for pragmatic topic modeling in industry. Familia abstracts the utilities of topic modeling in industry as two paradigms: semantic representation and semantic matching. Efficient implementations of the two paradigms are made publicly available for the first time. Furthermore, we provide off-the-shelf topic models trained on large-scale industrial corpora, including Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), SentenceLDA and Topical Word Embedding (TWE). We further describe typical applications which are successfully powered by topic modeling, in order to ease the confusions and difficulties of software engineers during topic model selection and utilization.
Decision-making usually takes five steps: identifying the problem, collecting data, extracting evidence, identifying pro and con arguments, and making decisions. Focusing on extracting evidence, this paper presents a hybrid model that combines latent Dirichlet allocation and word embeddings to obtain external knowledge from structured and unstructured data. We study the task of sentence-level argument mining, as arguments mostly require some degree of world knowledge to be identified and understood. Given a topic and a sentence, the goal is to classify whether a sentence represents an argument in regard to the topic. We use a topic model to extract topic- and sentence-specific evidence from the structured knowledge base Wikidata, building a graph based on the cosine similarity between the entity word vectors of Wikidata and the vector of the given sentence. Also, we build a second graph based on topic-specific articles found via Google to tackle the general incompleteness of structured knowledge bases. Combining these graphs, we obtain a graph-based model which, as our evaluation shows, successfully capitalizes on both structured and unstructured data.

In legal eDiscovery, the parties are required to search through their electronically stored information to find documents that are relevant to a specific case. Negotiations over the scope of these searches are often based on a fear that something wil l be missed. This paper continues an argument that discovery should be based on identifying the facts of a case. If a search process is less than complete (if it has Recall less than 100%), it may still be complete in presenting all of the relevant available topics. In this study, Latent Dirichlet Allocation was used to identify 100 topics from all of the known relevant documents. The documents were then categorized to about 80% Recall (i.e., 80% of the relevant documents were found by the categorizer, designated the hit set and 20% were missed, designated the missed set). Despite the fact that less than all of the relevant documents were identified by the categorizer, the documents that were identified contained all of the topics derived from the full set of documents. This same pattern held whether the categorizer was a naive Bayes categorizer trained on a random selection of documents or a Support Vector Machine trained with Continuous Active Learning (which focuses evaluation on the most-likely-to-be-relevant documents). No topics were identified in either categorizers missed set that were not already seen in the hit set. Not only is a computer-assisted search process reasonable (as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), it is also complete when measured by topics.
