• Abstract: Dynamic topic modeling is useful at discovering the development and change in latent topics over time. However, present methodology relies on algorithms that separate document and word representations. This prevents the creation of a meaningful embedding space where changes in word usage and documents can be directly analyzed in a temporal context. This paper proposes an expansion of the compass-aligned temporal Word2Vec methodology into dynamic topic modeling. Such a method allows for the direct comparison of word and document embeddings across time in dynamic topics. This enables the creation of visualizations that incorporate temporal word embeddings within the context of documents into topic visualizations. In experiments against the current state-of-the-art, our proposed method demonstrates overall competitive performance in topic relevancy and diversity across temporal datasets of varying size. Simultaneously, it provides insightful visualizations focused on temporal word embeddings while maintaining the insights provided by global topic evolution, advancing our understanding of how topics evolve over time.

  In video analysis, understanding the temporal context is crucial for recognizing object interactions, event patterns, and contextual changes over time. The proposed model leverages adjacency and semantic similarities between objects from neighboring video frames to construct context-aware temporal object embeddings. Empirical studies demonstrate that our context-aware temporal embeddings can be used in conjunction with conventional visual embeddings to enhance the effectiveness of downstream applications.

  Temporal grounding is the task of locating a specific segment from an untrimmed video according to a query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We argue that the inherent structured semantics inside the videos and language is the crucial factor to achieve compositional generalization.

  Story visualization aims to generate a sequence of images to narrate each sentence in a multi-sentence story. Current works face the problem of semantic misalignment because of their fixed architecture and diversity of input modalities. We explore the semantic alignment between text and image representations by learning to match their semantic levels in the GAN-based generative model.

  We propose to leverage news discourse profiling to model document-level temporal structures for building temporal dependency graphs. Our key observation is that the functional roles of sentences used for profiling news discourse signify different time frames relevant to a news story and can, therefore, help to recover the global temporal structure of a document.

  Temporal grounding in videos aims to localize one target video segment that semantically corresponds to a given query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We empirically find that they fail to generalize to queries with novel combinations of seen words. We propose a variational cross-graph reasoning framework that explicitly decomposes video and language into multiple structured hierarchies.

• Representing Mixtures of Word Embeddings with Mixtures of Topic Embeddings [46.324584649014284]
  A topic model is often formulated as a generative model that explains how each word of a document is generated given a set of topics and document-specific topic proportions. This paper introduces a new topic-modeling framework where each document is viewed as a set of word embedding vectors and each topic is modeled as an embedding vector in the same embedding space. Embedding the words and topics in the same vector space, we define a method to measure the semantic difference between the embedding vectors of the words of a document and these of the topics, and optimize the topic embeddings to minimize the expected difference over all documents.

  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.
