transformertopic 1.1

Topic modeling using sentence_transformer

transformertopic

Topic Modeling using sentence embeddings. The procedure is:

1. compute sentence embeddings
2. compute dimension reduction of these
3. cluster them
4. compute a human-readable representation of each cluster/topic

This is inspired by the Topic Modeling procedure described here by Maarten Grootendorst, who also has his own implementation available here.

Usage

Choose a reducer

from transformertopic.dimensionReducers import PacmapEmbeddings, UmapEmbeddings, TsneEmbeddings
#reducer = PacmapEmbeddings()
#reducer = TsneEmbeddings()
reducer = UmapEmbeddings(umapNNeighbors=13)

Init and run the model

from transformertopic import TransformerTopic
tt = TransformerTopic(dimensionReducer=reducer, hdbscanMinClusterSize=20)
tt.train(documentsDataFrame=pandasDf, dateColumn='date', textColumn='coref_text', copyOtherColumns = True)
print(f"Found {tt.nTopics} topics")
print(tt.df.info())

Show sizes of largest topics

N = 10
topNtopics = tt.showTopicSizes(N)

Choose a cluster representator and show wordclouds for the biggest topics

from transformertopic.clusterRepresentators import TextRank, Tfidf, KMaxoids
representator = Tfidf()
# representator = TextRank()
tt.showWordclouds(topNtopics clusterRepresentator=representator)
