Recently there has been significant activity in developing algorithms with provable guarantees for topic modeling. In standard topic models, a topic (such as sports, business, or politics) is viewed as a probability distribution $\vec a_i$…

Reordering is a challenge to machine translation (MT) systems. In MT, the widely used approach is to apply word based language model (LM) which considers the constituent units of a sentence as words. In speech recognition (SR), some phrase…

Topic models are typically represented by top-$m$ word lists for human interpretation. The corpus is often pre-processed with lemmatization (or stemming) so that those representations are not undermined by a proliferation of words with…
