Incorporating Domain Knowledge into Topic Modeling via Dirichlet Forest Priors.

Proc Int Conf Mach Learn

Department of Computer Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706 USA.

Published: January 2009

Users of topic modeling methods often have knowledge about the composition of words that should have high or low probability in various topics. We incorporate such domain knowledge using a novel Dirichlet Forest prior in a Latent Dirichlet Allocation framework. The prior is a mixture of Dirichlet tree distributions with special structures. We present its construction, and inference via collapsed Gibbs sampling. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate our model's ability to follow and generalize beyond user-specified domain knowledge.

Background: Globally, adolescent mothers are at increased risk for postpartum depression (PPD). In Kenya, 15% of adolescent girls become mothers before the age of 18. While social support can buffer a mother's risk of PPD, there are gaps in knowledge as to whether-and which types-of social support are protective for adolescent mothers in Kenya.

Role of inflammasomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Thorax

Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart & Lung Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is present in >10% of all people admitted to critical care and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Despite more than half a century since its first description, no efficacious pharmacological therapies have been developed, and little progress has been made in improving clinical outcomes. Neutrophils are the principal drivers of ARDS, with their priming and subsequent aberrant downstream functions, including interleukin (IL) 1β and IL-18 secretion, central to the disease pathogenesis.

EHM: Exploring dynamic alignment and hierarchical clustering in unsupervised domain adaptation via high-order moment-guided contrastive learning.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to annotate unlabeled target domain samples using transferable knowledge learned from the labeled source domain. Optimal transport (OT) is a widely adopted probability metric in transfer learning for quantifying domain discrepancy. However, many existing OT-based UDA methods usually employ an entropic regularization term to solve the OT optimization problem, inevitably resulting in a biased estimation of domain discrepancy.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.

Background: Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. However, it lacks a comprehensive study depicting the academic performance and status of AI in the medical education domain.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the social patterns, productive contributors, knowledge structure, and clusters since the 21st century.
