BiTTM: A Core Biterms-Based Topic Model for Targeted Analysis
While most of the existing topic models perform a <i>full analysis</i> on a set of documents to discover all topics, it is noticed recently that in many situations users are interested in fine-grained topics related to some specific aspects only. As a result, <i>targeted analysis&l...

While most of the existing topic models perform a <i>full analysis</i> on a set of documents to discover all topics, it is noticed recently that in many situations users are interested in fine-grained topics related to some specific aspects only. As a result, <i>targeted analysis</i> (or <i>focused analysis</i>) has been proposed to address this problem. Given a corpus of documents from a broad area, targeted analysis discovers only topics related with user-interested aspects that are expressed by a set of user-provided query keywords. Existing approaches for targeted analysis suffer from problems such as topic loss and topic suppression because of their inherent assumptions and strategies. Moreover, existing approaches are not designed to address computation efficiency, while targeted analysis is supposed to provide responses to user queries as soon as possible. In this paper, we propose a <i>core<b> BiT</b>erms-based <b>T</b>opic<b> M</b>odel</i> (BiTTM). By modelling topics from <i>core biterms</i> that are potentially relevant to the target query, on one hand, BiTTM captures the context information across documents to alleviate the problem of topic loss or suppression; on the other hand, our proposed model enables the efficient modelling of topics related to specific aspects.
