Ashley Jeun - Topic Modeling

Page history last edited by Ashley Jeun 9 years ago

I downloaded the Topic Modeling Tool, and was able to see certain topic lists generated although I was confused on some parts of the program.

(1) I was unsure about the output/input parts of the tool, so I experimented by using my English 197 course folder as the input. I then used the text files ("Persuasion," "Attila," "Eric Brighteyes," "The Little Duke," "Man of the Forest," and "War of the Worlds"), which are saved in a separate folder, as the output option.

(2) Next I clicked on Advanced options to download a stop words list, while keeping the number of topics at 20. I left the no. of iterations, no. of topic words printed, and topic proportion threshold as they were.

(3) The lists I attained seemed very clerical and computed, and I realized I may have made the mistake of including certain files in my input that still had html codes. Some topics contain letters that don't even create a word.

(4) In generating my topic lists, I haven't succeeded in creating accurate ones that I could understand. I also would like to clarify the purpose of the "tokens" which are recorded before each group of lists.
