Abstract—What a network learner post on a network learning forum directly reflects the learners’ need during from the network learning process. The network learning supporting service could be greatly improved with mining topics from the forum posts. For this purpose, this paper employs the Learner-Topic (LT) model to mine learners’ posts and discover the topics. The results from the model are used to search the learners who have the same learning interest and recommend the learning resources in a recommendation system.

Index Terms—Network learner, topic model, LT model, post, recommendation.
