• Abstract summary: We present a new task based on tweet topic classification and release two associated datasets. Given a wide range of topics covering the most important discussion points in social media, we provide training and testing data. We perform a quantitative evaluation and analysis of current general- and domain-specific language models on the task.

• Abstract: Social media platforms host discussions about a wide variety of topics that arise everyday. Making sense of all the content and organising it into categories is an arduous task. A common way to deal with this issue is relying on topic modeling, but topics discovered using this technique are difficult to interpret and can differ from corpus to corpus. In this paper, we present a new task based on tweet topic classification and release two associated datasets. Given a wide range of topics covering the most important discussion points in social media, we provide training and testing data from recent time periods that can be used to evaluate tweet classification models. Moreover, we perform a quantitative evaluation and analysis of current general- and domain-specific language models on the task, which provide more insights on the challenges and nature of the task.

  We propose PromptTopic, a novel topic modeling approach that harnesses the advanced language understanding of large language models (LLMs) It involves extracting topics at the sentence level from individual documents, then aggregating and condensing these topics into a predefined quantity, ultimately providing coherent topics for texts of varying lengths. We benchmark PromptTopic against the state-of-the-art baselines on three vastly diverse datasets, establishing its proficiency in discovering meaningful topics.

  This paper proposes a neural topic model, TopicAdapt, that can adapt relevant topics from a related source corpus and also discover new topics in a target corpus that are absent in the source corpus. Experiments over multiple datasets from diverse domains show the superiority of the proposed model against the state-of-the-art topic models.

• Enhance Topics Analysis based on Keywords Properties [0.0]
  We present a specificity score based on keywords properties that is able to select the most informative topics. In the experiments, we show that we are able to compress the state-of-the-art topic modelling results of different factors with an information loss that is much lower than the solution based on the recent coherence score presented in literature.

  Short texts published on Twitter have earned significant attention as a rich source of information. Their inherent characteristics, such as the informal, and noisy linguistic style, remain challenging to many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. This study fulfils an assessment of existing language models in distinguishing the sentiment expressed in tweets by using a rich collection of 22 datasets.

  This paper proposes a new methodology to study sequential corpora by implementing a two-stage algorithm that learns time-based topics with respect to a scale of document positions. The first stage ranks documents using Wordfish to estimate document positions that serve as a dependent variable to learn relevant topics. The second stage ranks the inferred topics on the document scale to match their occurrences within the corpus and track their evolution.

  Corpus-based conversational interfaces are able to generate more diverse and natural responses than template-based or retrieval-based agents. With their increased generative capacity of corpusbased conversational agents comes the need to classify and filter out malevolent responses. Previous studies on the topic of recognizing and classifying inappropriate content are mostly focused on a certain category of malevolence.
