Inhalt
In this seminar we will understand what topic models are, and how they are useful for the processing of texts. We will study first the basic topic model (LDA), and then extensions of this in various dimensions.
Course organization:
In the first part of the semester I will give lectures, in the second part, the students
will present and discuss papers that I will assign to them on the topic. Throughout
the semester the students will have to implement a topic model, and give a demo and
short presentation at the end of the course.
