为解决标签中心分析中标签表示稀疏问题,提出通过标签引导神经主题模型(LGNTM)来丰富标签语义,提高标签-主题对齐和分类性能。
📝 Abstract
Topic models are widely used for content analysis, where users often analyze corpora around predefined labels rather than unordered latent topics. Existing label-aware topic models mainly follow a labels-for-topics perspective, using labels to guide topic learning, while the learned topics are not directly usable for label-centered analysis. We explore the reverse topics-for-labels perspective and instantiate it as Label Semantic Expansion (LSE), which enriches sparse label representations with corpus-grounded descriptive topic words. To exploit topics in LSE effectively, we propose a Label-Guided Neural Topic Model (LGNTM), which learns dedicated label-aligned topics, grounds them in lexical and document semantic spaces, and preserves consistency between topic structures and label structures. Experiments on label-topic alignment, label expansion, topic quality, and downstream classification demonstrate strong overall performance across complementary evaluation dimensions.
