dynamic topic models

Recently, I'm pretty interested in topic models.
But this is very difficult to follow.

Instead, I'll read some material about Kalman filtering and Wavelet first.

Learning is endless...

NIPS 08 proceeding available

Here are some interesting paper I'm planning to read or browse.
My biggest concern is how effective is the work. It seems currently most are beautiful with formulas, but can not even beat the simplest method.

It's always human who make the world so complicated.
My belief is "The World is Simple!"
