[Corpora-List] semantic similarity

[Leonid Kontorovich]

Hi Jana,

have you looked at Latent Dirichlet Allocation, developed by Blei, Jordan
and Ng? Take a look at Blei's homepage:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~blei/

in particular,
Latent Dirichlet allocation. D. Blei, A. Ng, and M.
Jordan. Journal of Machine Learning Research, 3:993-1022, January 2003.

Dave Blei is now a postdoc at CMU, and I'm a grad student here -- so feel
free to stop by.

Best,
-Leo
