arXiv:2602. 17907v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional neural topic models are typically optimized by reconstructing the document's Bag-of-Words (BoW) representations, overlooking contextual information and struggling with data sparsity.

arXiv:2608. 16269v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in neural topic models with pre-trained language models (PLMs) have achieved strong performance by leveraging general-domain pre-training, yet their topic interpretability often degrades on specialized corpora.

arXiv:2507. 23220v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional topic models are effective at uncovering latent themes in large text collections.

arXiv:2510. 16152v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scientific literature is increasingly fragmented by disciplinary boundaries, specialized terminology, and potentially sparse keyword systems, making it difficult to capture the evolving structure of modern science.

arXiv:2510. 18908v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Social media platforms such as Twitter (now X) provide rich data for analyzing public discourse, especially during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

arXiv:2604. 25853v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional loss functions, including cross-entropy, contrastive, triplet, and su pervised contrastive losses, used for fine-tuning pre-trained language models such as BERT, operate only within local neighborhoods and fail to account for the global semantic structure.

arXiv:2608. 07208v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing measures of how much a text is about a concept read the surface of the text: dictionary word shares, topic proportions, embedding similarities.

arXiv:2508. 03250v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The increasing amount of political debates and politics-related discussions calls for the definition of novel computational methods to automatically analyse such content with the final goal of lightening up political deliberation to citizens.

Sequential recommendation aims to predict users' next interaction with items by analyzing their historical behavior. However, the limited quality of item representations remains a critical bottleneck.
arXiv:2607. 17524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose Token-Level Off-Policy Labeling (TOPL), an off-policy training paradigm that reframes post-training as a token-level correctness prediction task.

arXiv:2606. 31166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-attributed graphs (TAGs), where each node carries a natural language description, require models to jointly reason over text and graph topology.

arXiv:2608. 12756v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive latent tokenization maps a fine-grained input to a shorter sequence of continuous representations associated with input-dependent spans.
