• Abstract: Although latent factor models (e.g., matrix factorization) obtain good performance in predictions, they suffer from several problems including cold-start, non-transparency, and suboptimal recommendations. In this paper, we employ text with side data to tackle these limitations. We introduce a hybrid generative probabilistic model that combines a neural network with a latent topic model, which is a four-level hierarchical Bayesian model. In the model, each document is modeled as a finite mixture over an underlying set of topics and each topic is modeled as an infinite mixture over an underlying set of topic probabilities. Furthermore, each topic probability is modeled as a finite mixture over side data. In the context of text, the neural network provides an overview distribution about side data for the corresponding text, which is the prior distribution in LDA to help perform topic grouping. The approach is evaluated on several different datasets, where the model is shown to outperform standard LDA and Dirichlet-multinomial regression (DMR) in terms of topic grouping, model perplexity, classification and comment generation.

  Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) represent a contemporary class of generative models with exceptional qualities. We build a novel generative model for link prediction using a dedicated design to decompose the likelihood estimation process via the Bayesian formula. Our proposed method presents numerous advantages: (1) transferability across datasets without retraining, (2) promising generalization on limited training data, and (3) robustness against graph adversarial attacks.

  We focus on Generative Masked Language Models (GMLMs) We train a model to fit conditional probabilities of the data distribution via masking, which are subsequently used as inputs to a Markov Chain to draw samples from the model. We adapt the T5 model for iteratively-refined parallel decoding, achieving 2-3x speedup in machine translation with minimal sacrifice in quality.

  In short texts, co-occurrence information is minimal, which results in feature sparsity in document representation. Existing topic models (probabilistic or neural) mostly fail to mine patterns from them to generate coherent topics. We extend short text into longer sequences using existing pre-trained language models (PLMs)

• A Gamma-Poisson Mixture Topic Model for Short Text [0.0]
  Most topic models are constructed under the assumption that documents follow a multinomial distribution. For topic modelling, the Poisson distribution describes the number of occurrences of a word in documents of fixed length. The few Poisson topic models in literature are admixture models, making the assumption that a document is generated from a mixture of topics.
