A Lifelong Learning Topic Model Structured Using Latent Embeddings

We propose a latent-embedding-structured lifelong learning topic model, called the LLT model, to discover coherent topics from a corpus. Specifically, we exploit latent word embeddings to structure our model and mine word correlation knowledge to assist in topic modeling. During each learning iteration, our model learns new word embeddings based on the topics generated in the previous learning iteration. Experimental results demonstrate that our LLT model is able to generate more coherent topics than state-of-the-art methods.
