quick-topic 1.0.2

A toolkit to quickly analyze topic models using various methods

Quick Topic Mining Toolkit (QTMT)

The quick-topic toolkit allows us to quickly evaluate topic models in various methods.

Features

1. Topic Prevalence Trends Analysis
2. Topic Interaction Strength Analysis
3. Topic Transition Analysis
4. Topic Trends of Numbers of Document Containing Keywords
5. Topic Trends Correlation Analysis
6. Topic Similarity between Trends
7. Summarize Sentence Numbers By Keywords
8. Topic visualization

• This version supports topic modeling from both English and Chinese text.

Basic Usage

Example: generate topic models for each category in the dataset files

from quick_topic.topic_modeling.lda import build_lda_models
# step 1: data file
meta_csv_file="datasets/list_country.csv"
raw_text_folder="datasets/raw_text"
# term files used for word segementation
list_term_file = [
        "../datasets/keywords/countries.csv",
        "../datasets/keywords/leaders_unique_names.csv",
        "../datasets/keywords/carbon2.csv"
    ]
# removed words
stop_words_path = "../datasets/stopwords/hit_stopwords.txt"
# run shell
list_category = build_lda_models(
    meta_csv_file=meta_csv_file,
    raw_text_folder=raw_text_folder,
    output_folder="results/topic_modeling",
    list_term_file=list_term_file,
    stopwords_path=stop_words_path,
    prefix_filename="text_",
    num_topics=6
)

GUI

After installing the quick-topic package, run qtmt in the Terminal to call the GUI application.

$ qtmt

Advanced Usage

Example 1: Topic Prevalence over Time

from quick_topic.topic_prevalence.main import *
# data file: a csv file; a folder with txt files named the same as the ID field in the csv file
meta_csv_file = "datasets/list_country.csv"
text_root = r"datasets/raw_text"
# word segmentation data files
list_keywords_path = [
        "../datasets/keywords/countries.csv",
        "../datasets/keywords/leaders_unique_names.csv",
        "../datasets/keywords/carbon2.csv"
    ]
# remove keywords
stop_words_path = "../datasets/stopwords/hit_stopwords.txt"
# date range for analysis
start_year=2010
end_year=2021
# used topics
label_names = ['经济主题', '能源主题', '公众主题', '政府主题']
topic_economics = ['投资', '融资', '经济', '租金', '政府', '就业', '岗位', '工作', '职业', '技能']
topic_energy = ['绿色', '排放', '氢能', '生物能', '天然气', '风能', '石油', '煤炭', '电力', '能源', '消耗', '矿产', '燃料', '电网', '发电']

]
# run-all
run_topic_prevalence(

    start_year=start_year,
    end_year=end_year,
    label_names=label_names,
    list_topics=list_topics,
    tag_field="area",
    time_field="date",
    id_field="fileId",
    prefix_filename="text_",
)

Example 2: Estimate the strength of topic interaction (shared keywords) from different topics

from quick_topic.topic_interaction.main import *
# step 1: data file
meta_csv_file = "datasets/list_country.csv"
text_root = r"datasets/raw_text"
# step2: jieba cut words file
list_keywords_path = [
        "../datasets/keywords/countries.csv",
        "../datasets/keywords/leaders_unique_names.csv",
        "../datasets/keywords/carbon2.csv"
    ]
# remove files
stopwords_path = "../datasets/stopwords/hit_stopwords.txt"
# set predefined topic labels
label_names = ['经济主题', '能源主题', '公众主题', '政府主题']
# set keywords for each topic
topic_economics = ['投资', '融资', '经济', '租金', '政府', '就业', '岗位', '工作', '职业', '技能']
topic_energy = ['绿色', '排放', '氢能', '生物能', '天然气', '风能', '石油', '煤炭', '电力', '能源', '消耗', '矿产', '燃料', '电网', '发电']
topic_people = ['健康', '空气污染', '家庭', '能源支出', '行为', '价格', '空气排放物', '死亡', '烹饪', '支出', '可再生', '液化石油气', '污染物', '回收',

                    '政府', '规模经济']
# a list of topics above
list_topics = [
    topic_economics,
    topic_energy,
    topic_people,
    topic_government
]
# if any keyword is the below one, then the keyword is removed from our consideration
filter_words = ['中国', '国家', '工作', '领域', '社会', '发展', '目标', '全国', '方式', '技术', '产业', '全球', '生活', '行动', '服务', '君联',
                '研究', '利用', '意见']
# dictionaries
list_country=[
    '巴西','印度','俄罗斯','南非'
]
# run shell
run_topic_interaction(
    meta_csv_file=meta_csv_file,
    raw_text_folder=text_root,
    output_folder="results/topic_interaction/divided",
    list_category=list_country, # a dictionary where each record contain a group of keywords
    stopwords_path=stopwords_path,
    weights_folder='results/topic_interaction/weights',
    list_keywords_path=list_keywords_path,
    label_names=label_names,
    list_topics=list_topics,
    filter_words=filter_words,
    # set field names
    tag_field="area",
    keyword_field="", # ignore if keyword from csv exists in the text
    time_field="date",
    id_field="fileId",
    prefix_filename="text_",
)

Example 3: Divide datasets by year or year-month

By year:

from quick_topic.topic_transition.divide_by_year import *
divide_by_year(
    meta_csv_file="../datasets/list_g20_news_all_clean.csv",
    raw_text_folder=r"datasets\g20_news_processed",
    output_folder="results/test1/divided_by_year",
    start_year=2000,
    end_year=2021,
)

By year-month:

from quick_topic.topic_transition.divide_by_year_month import *
divide_by_year_month(
    meta_csv_file="../datasets/list_g20_news_all_clean.csv",
    raw_text_folder=r"datasets\g20_news_processed",
    output_folder="results/test1/divided_by_year_month",
    start_year=2000,
    end_year=2021
)

Example 4: Show topic transition by year

from quick_topic.topic_transition.transition_by_year_month_topic import *
label="经济"
keywords=['投资','融资','经济','租金','政府', '就业','岗位','工作','职业','技能']
show_transition_by_year_month_topic(
    root_path="results/test1/divided_by_year_month",
    label=label,
    keywords=keywords,
    start_year=2000,
    end_year=2021
)

Example 5: Show keyword-based topic transition by year-month for keywords in addition to mean lines

root_path = "results/news_by_year_month"
select_keywords = ['燃煤', '储能', '电动汽车', '氢能', '脱碳', '风电', '水电', '天然气', '光伏', '可再生', '清洁能源', '核电']
list_all_range = [
    [[2010, 2015], [2016, 2021]],
    [[2011, 2017], [2018, 2021]],
    [[2009, 2017], [2018, 2021]],
    [[2011, 2016], [2017, 2021]],
    [[2017, 2018], [2019, 2021]],
    [[2009, 2014], [2015, 2021]],
    [[2009, 2014], [2015, 2021]],

    [[2011, 2016], [2017, 2021]],
    [[2009, 2012], [2013, 2016], [2017, 2021]],
    [[2009, 2015], [2016, 2021]]
]
output_figure_folder="results/figures"
show_transition_by_year_month_term(
    root_path="results/test1/divided_by_year_month",
    select_keywords=select_keywords,
    list_all_range=list_all_range,
    output_figure_folder=output_figure_folder,
    start_year=2000,
    end_year=2021
)

Example 6: Get time trends of numbers of documents containing topic keywords with full text.

                       '政府', '规模经济']
list_topics = [
    keywords_economics,
    keywords_energy,
    keywords_people,
    keywords_government
]
# call function to show trends of number of documents containing topic keywords each year-month
show_year_month_trends_with_fulltext(
    meta_csv_file="datasets/list_country.csv",
    list_topics=list_topics,
    label_names=label_names,
    save_result_path="results/topic_trends/trends_fulltext.csv",

for i in range(0,len(label_names)-1):
    for j in range(i+1,len(label_names)):
        label1=label_names[i]
        label2=label_names[j]
        result=estimate_topic_trends_correlation_single_file(

        )
        list_result=[]
        line=f"({label1},{label2})\t{result['pearson'][0]}\t{result['pearson'][1]}"
        list_line.append(line)
        print()
print("Correlation analysis resutls:")
print("Pair\tPearson-Stat\tP-value")
for line in list_line:
    print(line)
