Week2：

Guiding Questions
Develop your answers to the following guiding questions while watching the video lectures throughout the week.

1. What is entropy? For what kind of random variables does the entropy function reach its minimum and maximum, respectively? 1
2. What is conditional entropy? 2
3. What is the relation between conditional entropy H(X|Y) and entropy H(X)? Which is larger? 3
4. How can conditional entropy be used for discovering syntagmatic relations? 4
5. What is mutual information I(X;Y)? How is it related to entropy H(X) and conditional entropy H(X|Y)? 5
6. What’s the minimum value of I(X;Y)? Is it symmetric? 6
7. For what kind of X and Y, does mutual information I(X;Y) reach its minimum? For a given X, for what Y does I(X;Y) reach its maximum? 1
8. Why is mutual information sometimes more useful for discovering syntagmatic relations than conditional entropy?
   What is a topic? 2
9. How can we define the task of topic mining and analysis computationally? What’s the input? What’s the output? 3
10. How can we heuristically solve the problem of topic mining and analysis by treating a term as a topic? What are the main problems of such an approach? 4
11. What are the benefits of representing a topic by a word distribution? 5
12. What is a statistical language model? What is a unigram language model? How can we compute the probability of a sequence of words given a unigram language model? 6
13. What is Maximum Likelihood estimate of a unigram language model given a text article? 1
14. What is the basic idea of Bayesian estimation? What is a prior distribution? What is a posterior distribution? How are they related with each other? What is Bayes rule? 2

Week3：

Guiding Questions
Develop your answers to the following guiding questions while watching the video lectures throughout the week.

1. What is a mixture model? In general, how do you compute the probability of observing a particular word from a mixture model? What is the general form of the expression for this probability? 3
2. What does the maximum likelihood estimate of the component word distributions of a mixture model behave like? In what sense do they “collaborate” and/or “compete”? 4
3. Why can we use a fixed background word distribution to force a discovered topic word distribution to reduce its probability on the common (often non-content) words? 5
4. What is the basic idea of the EM algorithm? What does the E-step typically do? What does the M-step typically do? In which of the two steps do we typically apply the Bayes rule? Does EM converge to a global maximum? 6
5. What is PLSA? How many parameters does a PLSA model have? How is this number affected by the size of our data set to be mined? How can we adjust the standard PLSA to incorporate a prior on a topic word distribution? 1
6. How is LDA different from PLSA? What is shared by the two models? 2

Week4：

Guiding Questions
Develop your answers to the following guiding questions while watching the video lectures throughout the week.
