Abstract(in English) The paper describes a new method for discovering topical words in discourse. It shows that text categorization techniques can be turned into an effective tool for dealing with the topic discovery problem. Experiments were done on a large Japanese newspaper corpus. It was found that training the model on annotated corpora does lead to an improvement on the topic recognition task.
