Future Readings

Below is a list of papers, articles, etc that should serve as a pool for selecting readings for future CompSem meetings. If you see a paper you would like to read and discuss please post it here, so that we can queue it up.

Paper	Tags	Rationale	Added by
Probabilistic Topic Models, Steyvers	topic modeling, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)	Looks like it provides an easier introduction to topic models than the original Blei paper
