meno 1.3.1

Topic modeling toolkit for messy text data

Meno: Topic Modeling Toolkit (v1.2.10)

Meno is a toolkit for topic modeling on messy text data, featuring an interactive workflow system that guides users from raw text to insights through acronym detection, spelling correction, topic modeling, and visualization. It includes both high-powered models and lightweight alternatives that work without heavy dependencies.

Quick Start

Minimal Example (5 Lines)

from meno import MenoTopicModeler
import pandas as pd

# Load data and discover topics
modeler = MenoTopicModeler()
df = pd.read_csv("documents.csv")
modeler.preprocess(df, text_column="text")
topics_df = modeler.discover_topics(method="embedding_cluster", auto_detect_topics=True)
modeler.generate_report(output_path="topic_report.html")

Lightweight CPU-Optimized Example (No Heavy Dependencies)

from meno.modeling.simple_models.lightweight_models import TFIDFTopicModel
import pandas as pd

# Load data
df = pd.read_csv("documents.csv")
documents = df["text"].tolist()

# Create and fit a lightweight TF-IDF model
model = TFIDFTopicModel(auto_detect_topics=True, max_features=2000)
model.fit(documents)

# Print topics and save visualization
print(model.get_topic_info())
model.visualize_topics().write_html("tfidf_topics.html")

Complete Interactive Workflow

from meno import MenoWorkflow
import pandas as pd

# Sample data with acronyms and misspellings
data = pd.DataFrame({
    "text": [
        "The CEO and CFO discussed AI implementation in our CRM system.",
        "Customer submitted a claim for their vehical accident on HWY 101.",
        "The CTO presented ML strategy for improving cust retention.",
        "Policyholder recieved the EOB and was confused about CPT codes."
    ]
})

# Initialize workflow
workflow = MenoWorkflow()
workflow.load_data(data=data, text_column="text")

# 1. Detect and expand acronyms
workflow.generate_acronym_report(output_path="acronyms.html", open_browser=True)
workflow.expand_acronyms({"CRM": "Customer Relationship Management", 
                          "CTO": "Chief Technology Officer"})

# 2. Detect and correct spelling
workflow.generate_misspelling_report(output_path="misspellings.html", open_browser=True)
workflow.correct_spelling({"vehical": "vehicle", "recieved": "received"})

# 3. Process documents and discover topics
workflow.preprocess_documents(lowercase=True, remove_stopwords=True)
workflow.discover_topics(auto_detect_topics=True)

# 4. Generate final report
workflow.generate_comprehensive_report("final_report.html", open_browser=True)

Team Configuration CLI

# Create a new team configuration
meno-config create "Healthcare" \
    --acronyms-file healthcare_acronyms.json \
    --corrections-file medical_spelling.json \
    --output-path healthcare_config.yaml

# Update an existing configuration

# Compare configurations from different teams
meno-config compare healthcare_config.yaml insurance_config.yaml \
    --output-path comparison.json

Architecture

The package follows a modular design:

• Data Preprocessing: Spelling correction, acronym resolution, text normalization
• Topic Modeling: Unsupervised discovery, supervised matching, multiple model support
• Visualization: Interactive embeddings, topic distributions, time series
• Report Generation: HTML reports with Plotly and Jinja2
• Team Configuration: Domain knowledge sharing, CLI tools

Common Troubleshooting

• Lowercase not working: Ensure you're explicitly setting lowercase=True when calling preprocess_documents() or passing it in your config
• Missing visualizations: Install the visualization dependencies with pip install "meno[viz]"
• Memory errors: Try setting quantize=True and low_memory=True in your config
• Slow processing: Use batch processing or try the lightweight models for faster results

Dependencies

• Python: 3.8-3.12 (primary target: 3.10)
• Core Libraries: pandas, scikit-learn, thefuzz, pydantic, PyYAML
• Optional Libraries: sentence-transformers, transformers, torch, umap-learn, hdbscan, plotly, bertopic

LLM Topic Labeling

from meno.modeling.bertopic_model import BERTopicModel
from meno.modeling.embeddings import DocumentEmbedding
from meno.modeling.llm_topic_labeling import LLMTopicLabeler
import pandas as pd

# Load your data
df = pd.read_csv("documents.csv")
documents = df["text"].tolist()

# Method 1: Automatic labeling during model fitting
model = BERTopicModel(
    auto_detect_topics=True,
    embedding_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
    use_llm_labeling=True,
    llm_model_type="local",
    llm_model_name="google/flan-t5-small"
)
model.fit(documents)

# Method 2: Apply labeling after model fitting
model = BERTopicModel(auto_detect_topics=True, embedding_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
model.fit(documents)

# Get original topic info
print("Original topic names:")
print(model.get_topic_info()[["Topic", "Name"]])

# Apply LLM labeling
model.apply_llm_labeling(
    documents=documents,
    model_type="local",
    model_name="google/flan-t5-small",
    detailed=True
)

# Get updated topic info
print("LLM-generated topic names:")
print(model.get_topic_info()[["Topic", "Name"]])

# Method 3: Standalone labeler for any topic model
topic_model = BERTopicModel(auto_detect_topics=True)
topic_model.fit(documents)

# Create LLM labeler
labeler = LLMTopicLabeler(
    model_type="openai",
    model_name="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    temperature=0.7
)

# Generate topic names
topic_names = labeler.label_topics(
    topic_model=topic_model,
    example_docs_per_topic=None,  # Optional document examples
    detailed=True
)

for topic_id, name in topic_names.items():
    print(f"Topic {topic_id}: {name}")

Future Development

With v1.2.0 adding advanced BERTopic features and LLM topic labeling, we're now focusing on:

1. Incremental Learning - Support for streaming data and updating models
2. Multilingual Support - Expand beyond English with better language handling
3. Domain-Specific Fine-Tuning - Adapt models to specific industries
4. Explainable AI Features - Better interpret topic assignments
5. Interactive Dashboards - More powerful visualization tools
6. Cloud Integration - Native support for cloud-based services
7. Export/Import Format - Standard format for sharing models and results
8. Extension API - Plugin system for custom models and visualizations
9. Enhanced LLM Integration - More language model options and applications

See our detailed roadmap for more information and the INTEGRATED_COMPONENTS_SUMMARY.md for details on our recent work.

CPU-Optimized Usage (No LLM Required)

For CPU-bound systems without LLM integration needs, here's how to get the best performance:

Installation

# Install with CPU-optimized dependencies
pip install "meno[embeddings,minimal]" -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

CPU-Optimized Topic Modeling

import pandas as pd
from meno import MenoTopicModeler

# Define CPU-optimized configuration
CPU_CONFIG = {
    "preprocessing": {
        "normalization": {
            "lowercase": True,
            "remove_punctuation": True,
            "lemmatize": True,
        },
    },
    "modeling": {
        "embeddings": {
            "model_name": "all-MiniLM-L6-v2",  # Small, fast model
            "device": "cpu",                   # Explicitly use CPU
            "use_gpu": False,                  # Disable GPU
            "batch_size": 32,                  # CPU-optimized batch size
            "quantize": True,                  # Reduce memory usage
        },
    },
    "visualization": {
        "umap": {
            "n_neighbors": 15,
            "min_dist": 0.1,
        },
    },
}

# Load your data
df = pd.read_csv("your_documents.csv")

# Initialize modeler with CPU configuration
modeler = MenoTopicModeler(config_overrides=CPU_CONFIG)

# Preprocess documents
processed_docs = modeler.preprocess(
    df, 
    text_column="text",
    remove_stopwords=True
)

# Generate embeddings and discover topics
modeler.embed_documents()
topics_df = modeler.discover_topics(
    method="embedding_cluster",
    auto_detect_topics=True,
    modeling_approach="lightweight"  # Use NMF or TF-IDF-based approaches
)

# Generate comprehensive HTML report
report_path = modeler.generate_report(
    output_path="topic_report.html",
    include_interactive=True,
    title="Topic Modeling Report"
)

print(f"Report generated at {report_path}")

Lightweight Model Options

For even better CPU performance, try the direct model interfaces:

from meno.modeling.simple_models.lightweight_models import TFIDFTopicModel, NMFTopicModel
from meno.visualization.lightweight_viz import plot_topic_landscape

# Load data
documents = df["text"].tolist()

# Create TF-IDF model (extremely CPU-efficient)
model = TFIDFTopicModel(
    auto_detect_topics=True,
    max_features=2000,  # Limit vocabulary size
    random_state=42
)

# Fit the model and get topic info
model.fit(documents)
topic_info = model.get_topic_info()

# Create visualization (using PCA instead of UMAP for speed)
fig = plot_topic_landscape(
    model=model,
    documents=documents,
    method="pca"
)
fig.write_html("topic_landscape.html")
