This paper proposed a Document Correlation Model to capture the correlation between documents from topic level. The model represents the document correlation as the Optimal Matching of a bipartite graph, of which each partition is a document, each node is a topic, and each edge is the similarity between two topics. The topics of each document are retrieved by the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model and Gibbs sampling. Experiments on correlated document search show that the Document Correlation Model outperforms the Vector Space Model on two aspects: 1) it has higher average retrieval precision; 2) it needs less space to store a documentpsilas information. %B Machine Learning and Cybernetics, 2008 International Conference on %V 5 %P 2487 - 2491 %8 2008/07// %G eng %R 10.1109/ICMLC.2008.4620826
