Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new probabilistic generative model for topic analysis of online reviews, called Author-Experience-Object-Topic Model (AEOT). This model is to capture the relationship between the authors, objects and reviews in order to improve the performance of topic analysis. The model, as a general one, can be transformed to six simpler models, and can produce topic-word, author-topic and object-topic distributions. Experimental results show that the model is suitable for topic analysis of online reviews, and outperforms other existing methods.
