TopiCLEAR: Adaptive embedding clustering for interpretable topic discovery from short texts

TopiCLEAR is a framework that clusters document or sentence embeddings using adaptive dimensionality reduction to uncover low‑dimensional geometric structures that correspond to human‑interpretable topics. The method is evaluated on four benchmark datasets, showing strong agreement with human annotations, especially for short and informal texts. A Twitter case study demonstrates that TopiCLEAR yields more interpretable topics than LDA, recovering both annotated topic structure and coherent sub‑topics.

Revisiting Lexicon Evaluation in Unsupervised Word Discovery

The paper critiques the normalized edit distance metric used for evaluating lexicons derived from unsupervised word discovery, noting its bias toward large clusters and its failure to account for the distribution of true classes across clusters. It proposes two new metrics—one that weights cluster size when measuring within‑cluster consistency and another that evaluates how true words are spread across clusters—drawing on clustering theory. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world lexicons show that these combined metrics better correlate with ground‑truth distributions and are more robust to evaluation biases.
