ABSTRACT
Lexical cooccurrence in textual data is not uniformly random. The statistics inferred from the term-cooccurrence data enable us to model dependencies between terms as graphs, somewhat resembling the way semantic memory is organised in human beings. In this paper we look at cooccurrence patterns to identify topical anchors of a given context. Topical anchors are those terms whose semantics represent the topic of the whole context. This work is based on computing a stationary distribution in the cooccurrence graph. Topical anchors were computed on a set of 100 contexts and were also evaluated by 86 volunteers and the results show that the algorithm correctly identifies the topical anchors around 62% of the time.

Sentiment classification of blog posts using topical extracts
ADC '12: Proceedings of the Twenty-Third Australasian Database Conference - Volume 124Unlike news stories and product reviews which usually have a strong focus on a single topic, blog posts are often unstructured, and opinions expressed in blog posts do not necessarily correspond to a specific topic. This can lead to unsatisfactory ...
Topical N-Grams: Phrase and Topic Discovery, with an Application to Information Retrieval
ICDM '07: Proceedings of the 2007 Seventh IEEE International Conference on Data MiningMost topic models, such as latent Dirichlet allocation, rely on the bag-of-words assumption. However, word order and phrases are often critical to capturing the meaning of text in many text mining tasks. This paper presents topical n-grams, a topic ...
