Bayesian models and neural models have demonstrated their respective advantage in topic modeling. Motivated by the dark knowledge transfer approach proposed by [3], we present a novel method that combines the advantages of the two model families. Particularly, we present a transfer learning method that uses LDA to supervise the training of a deep neural network (DNN), so that the DNN can approximate the LDA inference with less computation. Our experimental results show that by transfer learning, a simple DNN can approximate the topic distribution produced by LDA pretty well, and deliver competitive performance as LDA on document classification, with much faster computation.
