Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the topic extraction from text documents using probabilistic graphical models. Multiple-cause networks with latent variables are used and the Helmholtz machines are utilized to ease the learning and inference. The learning in this model is conducted in a purely data-driven way and does not require prespecified categories of the given documents. Topic words extraction experiments on the TDT-2collection are presented. Especially, document clustering results on a subset of TREC-8 ad-hoc task data show the substantial reduction of the inference time without significant deterioration of performance.
