Chapter 7 Topic Modeling

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, you'll be able to:

Perform basic cleaning techniques for textual data
Evaluate latent Dirichlet allocation models
Execute non-negative matrix factorization models
Interpret the results of topic models
Identify the best topic model for the given scenario

In this chapter, we will see how topic modeling provides insights into the underlying structure of documents.

Introduction

Topic modeling is one facet of natural language processing (NLP), the field of computer science exploring the relationship between computers and human language, which has been increasing in popularity with the increased availability of textual datasets. NLP can deal with language in almost any ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
