Disentangling Topic Models: A Cross-cultural Analysis of Personal Values through Words
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a methodology based on topic modeling that can be used to identify and quantify sociolinguistic differences between groups of people, and describe a regression method that can disentangle the influences of different attributes of the people in the group (e.g., culture, gender, age).
