The Author-Topic Model for Authors and Documents

Summary

This paper proposes the generative author-topic model, which extends LDA to model document contents and authors at the same time. The interest of each author is represented with a multinomial distribution over topics, while each topic is a multinomial distribution over words. Model estimation is performed with Gibbs sampling. Experiments show the topic-author and topic-word results discovered on the NIPS and CiteSeer datasets.
