Topic Modeling

Topic Modeling discovers thematic patterns across large document collections — typically without supervision — surfacing the recurring topics that organize the content. Classical algorithms include Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). Modern approaches use BERTopic (combining BERT embeddings with HDBSCAN clustering) and Top2Vec, which produce richer, more interpretable topics. Real-world applications include analyzing customer feedback to discover product themes, organizing scientific literature for review, mapping news coverage to identify story arcs, summarizing employee survey responses, and building dashboards of trending support topics. The technique is invaluable for understanding content at scales beyond manual review. Tools include Gensim (Python), scikit-learn, BERTopic, and various commercial offerings. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs use topic modeling to discover what AI users actually ask about, what employees discuss, or how customer concerns evolve — supporting responsible AI through data-driven insight into enterprise AI usage patterns.
