• Title: Topics as Entity Clusters: Entity-based Topics from Language Models and Graph Neural Networks
• Authors: Manuel V. Loureiro, Steven Derby and Tri Kurniawan Wijaya
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel approach for cluster-based topic modeling that employs conceptual entities. Entities are language-agnostic representations of real-world concepts rich in relational information. We demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms other state-of-the-art topic models across coherency metrics.

• Abstract: Topic models aim to reveal the latent structure behind a corpus, typically conducted over a bag-of-words representation of documents. In the context of topic modeling, most vocabulary is either irrelevant for uncovering underlying topics or contains strong relationships with relevant concepts, impacting the interpretability of these topics. Furthermore, their limited expressiveness and dependency on language demand considerable computation resources. Hence, we propose a novel approach for cluster-based topic modeling that employs conceptual entities. Entities are language-agnostic representations of real-world concepts rich in relational information. To this end, we extract vector representations of entities from (i) an encyclopedic corpus using a language model; and (ii) a knowledge base using a graph neural network. We demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms other state-of-the-art topic models across coherency metrics and find that the explicit knowledge encoded in the graph-based embeddings provides more coherent topics than the implicit knowledge encoded with the contextualized embeddings of language models.

We propose strategies to augment the generalization ability of text embedding models in diverse syntactic scenarios.

  Vision systems to see and reason about the compositional nature of visual scenes are fundamental to understanding our world. The models learned to bridge the gap between such modalities coupled with large-scale training data facilitate contextual reasoning, generalization, and prompt capabilities at test time. The output of such models can be modified through human-provided prompts without retraining, e.g., segmenting a particular object by providing a bounding box, having interactive dialogues by asking questions about an image or video scene or manipulating the robot's behavior through language instructions.

  Marrying topic models and language models exposes language understanding to a broader source of document-level context beyond sentences. Existing approaches incorporate latent document topic proportions and ignore topical discourse in sentences of the document. We present a novel neural composite language model that exploits both the latent and explainable topics along with topical discourse at sentence-level.
