dc.description.abstractThe quality of any text mining technique is highly dependent on the features that are used to represent the document collection. A classical form of document representation is the vector space model (VSM), according to which the documents are represented as vectors of weights that correspond to the features of the documents. The bag-of-words model is the most popular VSM approach due to its simplicity and general applicability, but this model does not include term dependency and has a high dimensionality. In the literature, several models for document representation have been proposed in order to capture the dependency of terms. Among them, the topic model representation is one of the most interesting approaches - since it describes the collection of documents in a way that reveals their internal structure and the interrelationships therein, and also provides a dimensionality reduction. However, even for topic models, the efficient extraction of information concerning the relations among terms for document representation is still a major research challenge. In order to address this issue, we proposed thelatent association rule cluster based model (LARCM). The LARCM is a non-probabilistic topic model that makes use of association rule clustering to build a document representation with low dimensionality in such a way that each feature (i.e., topic) is comprised of information concerning relations among the terms. We evaluated the interpretability of the topics obtained by using our proposed model against the ones provided by the traditional latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) model and the LDA model using a document representation that includes correlated terms (i.e., bag-of-related-words). The experimental results indicated that the LARCM provides topics with better interpretability than the LDA models. Additionally, we used the topics obtained by the LARCM in two different applications: text classification and page recommendation. With respect to text classification, the topics were used to improve document collection representation. Concerning page recommendation, topics were used as contextual information in context aware recommender systems. Results have shown that the topics provided by the LARCM can be used to improve both applications. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.en
