In this paper we study temporal text mining methods for Music Information Retrieval. We compare two ways of detecting the temporal latent semantics of a corpus extracted from Wikipedia, using a stepwise Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) approach and a global multiway {PLSA} method. The analysis indicates that the global analysis method is able to identify relevant trends which are difficult to get using a step-by-step approach. Furthermore we show that inspection of {PLSA} models with different number of factors may reveal the stability of temporal clusters making it possible to choose the relevant number of factors.", isbn_issn = "{ISBN} 9781424449477" }
