Organizing multimodal Web pages into hot topics is the core step to grasp trends on the Web. However, the less-constrained social media generate noisy user-generated content, which makes a detected topic be less coherent and less interpretable. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a coupled Poisson deconvolution to jointly handle topic detection and topic description. For the topic detection, the interestingness of a topic is estimated from the similarities refined by the description of topics; for the topic description, the interestingness of topics is leveraged to describe topics. Two processes cyclically detect interesting topics and generate the multimodal description of topics. This is the innovation of this paper, which just likes killing two birds with one stone. Experiments not only show the significantly improved accuracies for the topic detection but also demonstrate the interpretable descriptions for the topic description on two public data sets.
