Application
PLSA may be used in a discriminative setting, via Fisher kernels.
PLSA has applications in information retrieval and filtering, natural language processing, machine learning from text, and related areas.
It is reported that the aspect model used in the probabilistic latent semantic analysis has severe overfitting problems.
In 2012, pLSA has also been used in the bioinformatics context, for prediction of Gene Ontology biomolecular annotations.

Famous quotes containing the word application:
“If you would be a favourite of your king, address yourself to his weaknesses. An application to his reason will seldom prove very successful.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
