Code for joint Topic Models and User Behavior

[Sander]

Today I attended David’s lecture about
Probabilistic Topic Models and User Behavior inToronto

Blei_User_Behavior.pdf

He mentioned that people use his software to build machine learning models for
joint Topic Models and User Behavior
for example
The New York Society library model
And showed slide with reference to

blei-lab/edward

I would try this code , but which code from Edwards
has example to build model for joint Topic Models and User Behavior

May you pls share link to code example for joint Topic Models and User Behavior

Thank you very much in advance

I don’t think anyone has tried collaborative topic models in Edward yet. The algorithms are pretty involved and take some time to reproduce.

The original research was done several years ago (before Edward’s time). There’s open source code for them:

• Wang and Blei (2011): https://github.com/blei-lab/ctr
• Gopalan et al. (2014): https://github.com/blei-lab/collabtm
