Topic modeling is a text mining method that uses algorithms to discover hidden patterns and structures in large collections of texts. A topic modeling program extracts abstract “topics” by identifying and grouping words that frequently co-occur in a text. This workshop will introduce topic modeling with MALLET, a Java-based package for statistical natural language processing, topic modeling, and other machine learning applications to text. Participants will learn how to create and interpret topic models using MALLET.
