Abstract

In this paper we propose a Dirichlet process topic model for representing patterns in complex dynamic data. We assume that in a dynamic corpus topics do not randomly appear and disappear but rather replace each other following transitional rules. We model topic transitions as a Markov chain with an infinite hidden Markov model. The proposed model is then formulated as a Dirichlet process with a hierarchical Dirichlet process hidden Markov model prior.
