LM101-056: How to Build Generative Latent Probabilistic Topic Models for Search Engine and Recommender System Applications

Listen now

Description

In this NEW episode we discuss Latent Semantic Indexing type machine learning algorithms which have a PROBABILISTIC interpretation. We explain why such a probabilistic interpretation is important and discuss how such algorithms can be used in the design of document retrieval systems, search engines, and recommender systems.
