Robust Spectral Inference for Joint Stochastic Matrix Factorization
Moontae Lee, David Bindel, David Mimno
Spectral inference provides fast algorithms and provable optimality for latent topic analysis. But for real data these algorithms require additional ad-hoc heuristics, and even the…
Beyond Exchangeability: The Chinese Voting Process
Moontae Lee, Seok Hyun Jin, David Mimno
Many online communities present user-contributed responses such as reviews of products and answers to questions. User-provided helpfulness votes can highlight the most useful respo…
Sparse Stochastic Inference for Latent Dirichlet allocation
David Mimno, Matt Hoffman, David Blei
We present a hybrid algorithm for Bayesian topic models that combines the efficiency of sparse Gibbs sampling with the scalability of online stochastic inference. We used our algor…
Reconstructing Pompeian Households
David Mimno
A database of objects discovered in houses in the Roman city of Pompeii provides a unique view of ordinary life in an ancient city. Experts have used this collection to study the s…
