Infer how entities relate to topics.

Distinguish between normal words and entities (composed expressions). In this sense this is somehow related to the bigram topic model of Mc Callum and (? Teh?) but using a well established named entity recognizer instead of pure statistics.

Nice toolbox of concepts/tricks in graphical model

Application domain: news

Exploitation for: Ontology mining

X Abstract

ABSTRACT The primary purpose of news articles is to convey information about who, what, when and where. But learning and summarizing these relationships for collections of thousands to millions of articles is difficult. While statistical topic models have been highly successful at topically summarizing huge collections of text documents, they do not explicitly address the textual interactions between who/where, i.e. named entities (persons, organizations, locations) and what, i.e. the topics. We present new graphical models that directly learn the relationship between topics discussed in news articles and entities mentioned in each article. We show how these entity-topic models, through a better understanding of the entity-topic relationships, are better at making predictions about entities.
