Described herein are embodiments of a unified neural network framework to integrate Topic modeling, Word embedding and Entity Embedding (TWEE) for representation learning of inputs. In one or more embodiments, a novel topic sparse autoencoder is introduced to incorporate discriminative topics into the representation learning of the input. Topic distributions of inputs are generated from a global viewpoint and are utilized to enable autoencoder to learn topical representations. A sparsity constraint may be added to ensure that the most discriminative representations are related to topics. In addition, both words and entity related information may be embedded into the network to help learn a more comprehensive input representation. Extensive empirical experiments show that embodiments of the TWEE framework outperform the state-of-the-art methods on different datasets.
