Topic Intrusion for Automatic Topic Model Evaluation
Topic coherence is increasingly being used to evaluate topic models and filter topics for end-user applications. Topic coherence measures how well topic words relate to each other, but offers little insight on the utility of the topics in describing the documents. In this paper, we explore the topic intrusion task {---} the task of guessing an outlier topic given a document and a few topics {---} and propose a method to automate it. We improve upon the state-of-the-art substantially, demonstrating its viability as an alternative method for topic model evaluation.

From Documents to Segments: A Contextual Reformulation for Topic Assignment
Traditional topic modeling assigns a single topic to each document. In practice, however, many real-world documents, such as product reviews or open-ended survey responses, contain multiple distinct topics. This mismatch…
