A simple non-parametric Topic Mixture for Authors and Documents

Machine Learning 2012-12-05 v2 Machine Learning

Abstract

This article reviews the Author-Topic Model and presents a new non-parametric extension based on the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process. The extension is especially suitable when no prior information about the number of components necessary is available. A blocked Gibbs sampler is described and focus put on staying as close as possible to the original model with only the minimum of theoretical and implementation overhead necessary.
