Categorizing NIPS papers using LDA topic modeling

Trying to decide what papers you're interested in at this year's NIPS? This repo consists of an ipython notebook implementing a simple LDA topic model over paper titles. It might not help you decide, but it ought to be a lark along the way. Blog post on bayesianbiologist here.

The LDA code is adapted from Jordan Barber's blog post Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) with Python
