Beautiful visualizations of how language differs among document types.

A python package to run contextualized topic modeling. CTMs combine contextualized embeddings (e.g., BERT) with topic models to get coherent topics. Published at EACL and ACL 2021 (Bianchi et al.).

40+ validated topic models for computational social science, behind one NumPy-native interface: covariate effects on topic prevalence and content, shared diagnostics, reproducible fits. LDA, STM, CTM, keyATM, BERTopic, ETM, and more on a parallel Rust core. One wheel, no JVM, no PyTorch.

A small showcase for topic modeling with the tmtoolkit Python package. I use a corpus of articles from the German online news website Spiegel Online (SPON) to create a topic model for before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
