• Let T be a countable theory with a distinguished predicate R. A model of T is said to be of type (λ,μ) if the cardinality of the model is λ and the cardinality of the model’s interpretation of R is μ. For cardinals α,β, γ, and δ, (α,β) → (γ, δ) is the assertion that for every countable theory T , if T has a model of type (α,β), then it has a model of type (γ, δ). Chang showed that under GCH, ...

In this context, the use of document representations based on latent thematic generative models can lead to improved clustering. However, determining a priori the optimal document indexing technique is not straighforward, as it depends on the clustering problem faced and the partitioning strategy...
