user modeling idea in jelinek, statisticial methods for speech processing

there was a short idea for user modeling in Jelinek 2001 that I wanted to make a note of.

"A vocabulary is particular to a speaker and his task in at least four ways..."
1) habits of expression (related to things like level of education
2) domain of discourse
3) current interests
4) current document/subject

user modeling for emotions in text idea

This weekend I had an idea about how to implement a user model of emotions in text. Using the liveJournal blog data [Mishne Dissertation], I can try to make a mixture language model, like described in [Stolke Dissertation]. The user model will be the mixture priors (am I using the terminology correctly?). This will give me a good change to move away from the tfidf approach into the language modeling framework, which I haven't explored enough.

TODO: make a simple example of the mixture language model, play around with srilm toolkit, apply to data [liveJournal, IEMOCAP]
