Recommendation systems increasingly depend on massive human-labeled datasets; however, the human annotators hired to generate these labels increasingly come from homogeneous backgrounds. This poses an issue when downstream predictive models…

This paper presents a modified neural model for topic detection from a corpus and proposes a new metric to evaluate the detected topics. The new model builds upon the embedded topic model incorporating some modifications such as document…
