Topic Modeling with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA): Day 218 of 365 🚀📚✏️🚀
Hey, Model!
Welcome to Day 218 of our #365DaysOfDataScience journey! 🎉
Today, we’re going to explore something new and exciting in the world of NLP—topic modeling with LDA. Topic modeling is a great way to discover hidden patterns in large sets of text, like uncovering themes in news articles or social media posts. 🌍
🔑 What We’ll Be Exploring Today:
- Introduction to topic modeling: We’ll break down what it is and how it helps us extract meaningful information from a bunch of text.
- Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA): Our tool for the day, which helps us identify different topics in a document.
📚 Learning Resources:
1. Tutorial: We’ll follow a guide on using LDA in Python with the gensim library.
2. Practice: Apply topic modeling to a dataset of your choice (e.g., news articles or customer reviews) to uncover the dominant topics.
✏️ Today’s Task:
- Use the gensim library to perform LDA on a text dataset.
- Explore the topics generated by the model and try to make sense of them. What topics can you identify from your dataset?
I’ll be experimenting with a dataset of news articles, trying to see what key topics emerge from the text. Let’s dive in and see what patterns we can uncover from our data! 📰
Happy Learning & See You Soon!
