Abstract
Topic-based language models for an application search engine enable a user to search for an application based on the application's function rather than title. To enable a search based on function, information is gathered and processed, including application names, descriptions and external information. Processing the information includes filtering the information, generating a topic model and supplementing the topic model with additional information.
