Talk:Probabilistic latent semantic analysis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corrected a few inconsistencies/confusions/inaccuracies:

• afaik the acronym PLSA is more common that the lower-case variant pLSA -- need to be consistent anyway.
• Fisher kernels allow PLSA to be used in a discriminative setting, not as a generative model.
• Whoever wrote the part about "severe overfitting problems" should provide a reference for that.

• I stumbled upon a paper stating these overfitting problems and added the reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keretapi (talk • contribs) 14:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

• In "Evolutions...", _discriminative_ was obviously wrong -- I think what was meant is _generative_ -- that's one way to present LDA.
• Added a bullet on the extension to higher-order data

Errr -- whoever added the graph: it's nice and everything but could you try to use the same notation as in the article? Sunny house (talk) 19:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

No, in every paper i have read, the latent variable is always denoted as 'z'. So the text should be changed instead.--137.250.39.133 (talk) 09:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
