Abstract

Topic-based search engines are an alternative to simple keyword search engines that are common in today's intranets. The temporal behaviour of the topics in a topic model based search engine can be used for trend analysis, which is an important research goal on its own. We apply topic modelling to an online financial newspaper data and show that some of the trends in the topics are consistent with common understanding.
