Correlated Topic Model (CTM)

Correlated Topic Model (CTM)Correlated Topic Model (CTM) [2] extends LDA using a logistic-normal prior which explicitly models correlation patterns with a Gaussian covariance matrix. [1] J. He, Z.

It represents the documents as a random mixtures of topics over the latent topic space, where each topic is characterized by a distribution over a dictionary of words. LDA and its extensions are ineffective when used with short documents (texts). Issues are coming from: ineffective word relation induction and difficulties with distinguishing ambiguous...
