BTM: Biterm Topic Models for Short Text
Biterm Topic Models find topics in collections of short texts.
It is a word co-occurrence based topic model that learns topics by modeling word-word co-occurrences patterns which are called biterms.
This in contrast to traditional topic models like Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis
which are word-document co-occurrence topic models.
A biterm consists of two words co-occurring in the same short text window.
This context window can for example be a twitter message, a short answer on a survey, a sentence of a text or a document identifier.
The techniques are explained in detail in the paper 'A Biterm Topic Model For Short Text' by Xiaohui Yan, Jiafeng Guo, Yanyan Lan, Xueqi Cheng (2013) <https://github.com/xiaohuiyan/xiaohuiyan.github.io/blob/master/paper/BTM-WWW13.pdf>.
