Automatic Labelling of Topic Models

چکیده
We propose a method for automatically labelling topics learned via LDA topic models. We generate our label candidate set from the top-ranking topic terms, titles of Wikipedia articles containing the top-ranking topic terms, and sub-phrases extracted from the Wikipedia article titles. We rank the label candidates using a combination of association measures and lexical features, optionally fed into a supervised ranking model. Our method is shown to perform strongly over four independent sets of topics, significantly better than a benchmark method.

Automatic Labelling of Topic Models Learned from Twitter by Summarisation
Latent topics derived by topic models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) are the result of hidden thematic structures which provide further insights into the data. The automatic labelling of such topics derived from social media poses however new challenges since topics may characterise novel events happening in the real world. Existing automatic topic labelling approaches which depend o...
متن کاملAutomatic Labelling of Topics with Neural Embeddings
Topics generated by topic models are typically represented as list of terms. To reduce the cognitive overhead of interpreting these topics for end-users, we propose labelling a topic with a succinct phrase that summarises its theme or idea. Using Wikipedia document titles as label candidates, we compute neural embeddings for documents and words to select the most relevant labels for topics. Com...

The native representation of LDA-style topics is a multinomial distributions over words, which can be time-consuming to interpret directly. As an alternative representation, automatic labelling has been shown to help readers interpret the topics more efficiently. We propose a novel framework for topic labelling using word vectors and letter trigram vectors. We generate labels automatically and ...
متن کاملMultimodal Topic Labelling
Topics generated by topic models are typically presented as a list of topic terms. Automatic topic labelling is the task of generating a succinct label that summarises the theme or subject of a topic, with the intention of reducing the cognitive load of end-users when interpreting these topics. Traditionally, topic label systems focus on a single label modality, e.g. textual labels. In this wor...
متن کاملAutomatic Labelling of Topic Models Using Word Vectors and Letter Trigram Vectors
The native representation of LDA-style topics is a multinomial distributions over words, but automatic labelling of such topics has been shown to help readers interpret the topics better. We propose a novel framework for topic labelling using word vectors and letter trigram vectors. We generate labels automatically and propose automatic and human evaluations of our method. First, we use a chunk...
