1. Topic models are hierarchical probabilistic models for the statistical analysis of document collections. It assumes that each document comprises a mixture of latent topics and each topic can be represented by a distribution over vocabulary. Dimensionality for a large corpus of unstructured documents can be reduced by modeling with these exchangeable topics. In previous work, we designed a multi-pipe structure for question answering (QA) systems by nesting keyword search, classical Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and prototype detections.
