Objective: To compare the topic modeling techniques, as no free lunch theorem states that under a uniform distribution over search problems, all machine learning algorithms perform equally. Hence, here, we compare Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) or Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to identify better performer for English bible data set which has not been studied yet. Methods: This comparative study divided into three levels: In the first level, bible data was extracted from the sources and preprocessed to remove the words and characters which were not useful to obtain the semantic structures or necessary patterns to make the meaningful corpus. In the second level, the preprocessed data were converted into a bag of words and numerical statistic TF-IDF (Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency) is used to assess how relevant a word is to a document in a corpus. In the third level, Latent Semantic analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocations methods were applied over the resultant corpus to study the feasibility of the techniques. Findings: Based on our evaluation, we observed that the LDA achieves 60 to 75% superior performance when compared to LSA using document similarity within-corpus, document similarity with the unseen document. Additionally, LDA showed better coherence score (0.58018) than LSA (0.50395). Moreover, when compared to any word within-corpus, the word association showed better results with LDA. Some words have homonyms based on the context; for example, in the bible; bear has a meaning of punishment and birth. In our study, LDA word association results are almost near to human word associations when compared to LSA. Novelty: LDA was found to be the computationally efficient and interpretable method in adopting the English Bible dataset of New International Version that was not yet created. Keywords: Topic modeling; LSA; LDA; word association; document similarity;Bible data set

Similarity View is an application for visually comparing and exploring multiple models of text and collection of document. Friendbook finds ways of life of clients from client driven sensor information, measures the closeness of ways of life amongst clients, and prescribes companions to clients if their ways of life have high likeness. Roused by demonstrate a clients day by day life as life records, from their ways of life are separated by utilizing the Latent Dirichlet Allocation Algorithm. Manual techniques can't be utilized for checking research papers, as the doled out commentator may have lacking learning in the exploration disciplines. For different subjective views, causing possible misinterpretations. An urgent need for an effective and feasible approach to check the submitted research papers with support of automated software. A method like text mining method come to solve the problem of automatically checking the research papers semantically. The proposed method to finding the proper similarity of text from the collection of documents by using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) with synonym algorithm which is used to find synonyms of text index wise by using the English wordnet dictionary, another algorithm is LSA without synonym used to find the similarity of text based on index. LSA with synonym rate of accuracy is greater when the synonym are consider for matching.


The Covid-19 pandemic is the deadliest outbreak in our living memory. So, it is need of hour, to prepare the world with strategies to prevent and control the impact of the epidemics. In this paper, a novel semantic pattern detection approach in the Covid-19 literature using contextual clustering and intelligent topic modeling is presented. For contextual clustering, three level weights at term level, document level, and corpus level are used with latent semantic analysis. For intelligent topic modeling, semantic collocations using pointwise mutual information(PMI) and log frequency biased mutual dependency(LBMD) are selected and latent dirichlet allocation is applied. Contextual clustering with latent semantic analysis presents semantic spaces with high correlation in terms at corpus level. Through intelligent topic modeling, topics are improved in the form of lower perplexity and highly coherent. This research helps in finding the knowledge gap in the area of Covid-19 research and offered direction for future research.

Topic modeling is a popular approach for clustering text documents. However, current tools have a number of unsolved problems such as instability and a lack of criteria for selecting the values of model parameters. In this work, we propose a method to solve partially the problems of optimizing model parameters, simultaneously accounting for semantic stability. Our method is inspired by the concepts from statistical physics and is based on Sharma–Mittal entropy. We test our approach on two models: probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) with Gibbs sampling, and on two datasets in different languages. We compare our approach against a number of standard metrics, each of which is able to account for just one of the parameters of our interest. We demonstrate that Sharma–Mittal entropy is a convenient tool for selecting both the number of topics and the values of hyper-parameters, simultaneously controlling for semantic stability, which none of the existing metrics can do. Furthermore, we show that concepts from statistical physics can be used to contribute to theory construction for machine learning, a rapidly-developing sphere that currently lacks a consistent theoretical ground.

Each job field (branch) in the Army requires a unique set of skills and talents of the officers assigned. Officers who demonstrate the required skills are often more successful in their assigned branch. To better understand how success is described across branches, research was conducted using text mining and text analysis of a data set of Officer Evaluation Reports (OERs). This research looked for common trends and discrepancies across varying branches and like groups of branches by analyzing the narrative portion of OERs. Text analysis methods examined words and bigrams commonly used to describe varying degrees of performance by officers. Topic modeling using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was also conducted on top rated narratives to investigate trends and discrepancies in clustering narratives. Findings show that qualitative narratives for the top two performance designations fail to differentiate between officers’ varying levels of performance regardless of branch.

Understanding the real-world short texts become an essential task in the recent research area. The document deduction analysis and latent coherent topic named as the important aspect of this process. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) are suggested to model huge information and documents. This type of contexts’ main problem is the information limitation, words relationship, sparsity, and knowledge extraction. The knowledge discovery and machine learning techniques integrated with topic modeling were proposed to overcome this issue. The knowledge discovery was applied based on the hidden information extraction to increase the suitable dataset for further analysis. The integration of machine learning techniques, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Long Short-Term (LSTM) are applied to anticipate topic movements. LSTM layers are fed with latent topic distribution learned from the pre-trained Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model. We demonstrate general information from different techniques applied in short text topic modeling. We proposed three categories based on Dirichlet multinomial mixture, global word co-occurrences, and self-aggregation using representative design and analysis of all categories’ performance in different tasks. Finally, the proposed system evaluates with state-of-art methods on real-world datasets, comprises them with long document topic modeling algorithms, and creates a classification framework that considers further knowledge and represents it in the machine learning pipeline.
