BL-LDA: Bringing Bigram to Supervised Topic Model
Youngsun Park, Md. Hijbul Alam, Woo-Jong Ryu, SangKeun Lee · 2015
With the increasing amount of data being published on the Web, it is difficult to analyze their content within a short time. Topic modeling techniques can summarize textual data that contains several topics. Both the label (such as category or tag) and word co-occurrence play a significant role in understanding textual data. However, many conventional topic modeling techniques are limited to the bag-of-words assumption. In this paper, we develop a probabilistic model called Bigram Labeled Latent Dirichlet Allocation (BL-LDA), to address the limitation of the bag-of-words assumption. The proposed BL-LDA incorporates the bigram into the Labeled LDA (L-LDA) technique. Extensive experiments on Yelp data show that the proposed scheme is better than the L-LDA in terms of accuracy.
