With the rapid proliferation of social networking sites (SNS), automatic topic extraction from various text messages posted on SNS are becoming an important source of information for understanding current social trends or needs. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a probabilistic generative model, is one of the popular topic models in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and has been widely used in information retrieval, topic extraction, and document analysis. Unlike long texts from formal documents, messages on SNS are generally short. Traditional topic models such as LDA or pLSA (probabilistic latent semantic analysis) suffer performance degradation for short-text analysis due to a lack of word co-occurrence information in each short text. To cope with this problem, various techniques are evolving for interpretable topic modeling for short texts, pretrained word embedding with an external corpus combined with topic models is one of them. Due to recent developments of deep neural networks (DNN) and deep generative models, neural-topic models (NTM) are emerging to achieve flexibility and high performance in topic modeling. However, there are very few research works on neural-topic models with pretrained word embedding for generating high-quality topics from short texts. In this work, in addition to pretrained word embedding, a fine-tuning stage with an original corpus is proposed for training neural-topic models in order to generate semantically coherent, corpus-specific topics. An extensive study with eight neural-topic models has been completed to check the effectiveness of additional fine-tuning and pretrained word embedding in generating interpretable topics by simulation experiments with several benchmark datasets. The extracted topics are evaluated by different metrics of topic coherence and topic diversity. We have also studied the performance of the models in classification and clustering tasks. Our study concludes that though auxiliary word embedding with a large external corpus improves the topic coherency of short texts, an additional fine-tuning stage is needed for generating more corpus-specific topics from short-text data.
