Abstract

In this paper, we propose an unsupervised approach for multi-polarization of topic person names. We employ a model-based EM method to polarize individuals into positively correlated groups. In addition, we present off-topic block elimination and weighted correlation coefficient techniques to eliminate the off-topic blocks and reduce the text sparseness problem respectively. Our experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method can identify multi-polar person groups of topics correctly.
