Improving Neural Topic Modeling with Semantically-Grounded Soft Label Distributions

ICML 2026poster

Traditional neural topic models are typically optimized by reconstructing the document's Bag-of-Words (BoW) representations, overlooking contextual information and struggling with data sparsity. In this work, we propose a novel approach to construct semantically-grounded soft label targets using Lan…

Explicit Bayesian Inference to Uncover the Latent Themes of Large Language Models

ACL 2025finding

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive generative capabilities, yet their inner mechanisms remain largely opaque. In this work, we introduce a novel approach to interpret LLMs generation process through the lens of an explicit Bayesian framework by inferring latent topic variables…

Diversity-Aware Coherence Loss for Improving Neural Topic Models

ACL 2023short

The standard approach for neural topic modeling uses a variational autoencoder (VAE) framework that jointly minimizes the KL divergence between the estimated posterior and prior, in addition to the reconstruction loss. Since neural topic models are trained by recreating individual input documents, t…

Mixture-of-Linguistic-Experts Adapters for Improving and Interpreting Pre-trained Language Models

EMNLP 2023long findings

In this work, we propose a method that combines two popular research areas by injecting linguistic structures into pre-trained language models in the parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) setting. In our approach, parallel adapter modules encoding different linguistic structures are combined using…

Human Guided Exploitation of Interpretable Attention Patterns in Summarization and Topic Segmentation

EMNLP 2022main

The multi-head self-attention mechanism of the transformer model has been thoroughly investigated recently. In one vein of study, researchers are interested in understanding why and how transformers work. In another vein, researchers propose new attention augmentation methods to make transformers mo…
