Hawkes Binomial Topic Model
Hawkes Binomial Topic Model (HBTM) is a Hawkes process where marks are represented as bags of words following a Binomial distribution. When viewed as a branching process, the daughter event bag of words is generated by randomly turning on/off parent words through independent Bernoulli random variables.
