    Abstract Rich and Scalable Models for Text

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: RICH AND SCALABLE MODELS FOR TEXT Thang Dai Nguyen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2019 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jordan Boyd-Graber Department of Computer Science and Institute for Advanced Computer Studies Professor Philip Resnik Department of Linguistics and Institute for Advanced Computer Studies Topic models have become essential tools for uncovering hidden structures in big data. However, the most popular topic model algorithm—Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)— and its extensions suffer from sluggish performance on big datasets. Recently, the machine learning community has attacked this problem using spectral learning approaches such as the moment method with tensor decomposition or matrix factorization. The anchor word algorithm by Arora et al.[2013] has emerged as a more efficient approach to solve a large class of topic modeling problems. The anchor word algorithm is high-speed, and it has a provable theoretical guarantee: it will converge to a global solution given enough number of documents. In this thesis, we present a series of spectral models based on the anchor word algorithm to serve a broader class of datasets and to provide more abundant and more flexible modeling capacity. First, we improve the anchor word algorithm by incorporating various rich priors in the form of appropriate regularization terms. Our new regularized anchor word algorithms produce higher topic quality and provide flexibility to incorporate informed priors, creating the ability to discover topics more suited for external knowledge. Second, we enrich the anchor word algorithm with metadata-based word repre- sentation for labeled datasets. Our new supervised anchor word algorithm runs very fast and predicts better than supervised topic models such as Supervised LDA on three sentiment datasets.

    R for Statistics: First Steps

    R for statistics: first steps CAR meeting, Raleigh, Feb 26 2011 Peter Aldhous, San Francisco Bureau Chief [email protected] A note of caution before using any stats package: Beware running with scissors! You can bamboozle yourself, and your readers, by misusing statistics. Make sure you understand the methods you are using, in particular the assumptions that must be met for them to be valid (e.g. normal distribution for many common tests). So before rushing in, consult: • IRE tipsheets (e.g. Donald & LaFleur, #2752; Donald & Hacker, #2731) • Statistical textbooks (e.g. http://www.statsoft.com/textbook/ is free online) • Experts who can provide a reality check on your analysis! Getting started: Download R, instructions at: http://www.r-project.org/ Start the program: Prepare the data: 1) Save as a csv file 2) Point R at the data First steps in the R command line: Load and examine the data: View a basic summary: What is the mean age and salary for CEOs in each sector? An alternative, computing mean and standard deviation in one go: Is there a correlation between age and salary? Draw a graph to explore the correlation analysis: Does mean CEO age differ significantly across sectors? Does mean CEO salary differ significantly across sectors? Draw a graph to explore the distribution of salary by sector: Moving beyond the basic functions: R packages The R community has written 2800+ extensions to R’s basic statistical and graphical functions, available from the CRAN repository: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ Follow the links to find a PDF Reference Manual for each package.
