This paper presents Generalized Correspondence-LDA (GC-LDA), a generalization of the Correspondence-LDA model that allows for variable spatial representations to be associated with topics, and increased flexibility in terms of the strength of the correspondence between data types induced by the model. We present three variants of GC-LDA, each of which associates topics with a different spatial representation, and apply them to a corpus of neuroimaging data. In the context of this dataset, each topic corresponds to a functional brain region, where the region's spatial extent is captured by a probability distribution over neural activity, and the region's cognitive function is captured by a probability distribution over linguistic terms. We illustrate the qualitative improvements offered by GC-LDA in terms of the types of topics extracted with alternative spatial representations, as well as the model's ability to incorporate a-priori knowledge from the neuroimaging literature. We furthermore demonstrate that the novel features of GC-LDA improve predictions for missing data.

This paper addresses an important topic, and presents a clear, well-detailed and well-presented framework. I find the results and their illustration compelling. In enjoyed reading the paper. More in detail -------------- 8: 'probability distribution over neural activity' is a bit vague and potentially misleading to describe the kind of statistics made in coordinate-based meta-analysis. To me the message boils down to: although gamma does not enjoy a very clear interpretation in the generative model, it plays the role of a regularizer.
