Text classification & topic modelling

Question

For a huge set of articles, I want to get the topic models with weightage assigned to different topics & within topics, what are the weightage for different sub-topics. For example, if I feed an article which falls in both Business & Technology domain, then the program's output shuold be something like this :-

• 0.593 Business ( 0.438 - Marketing , 0.375 - Companies, 0.062 - Office Work)
• 0.148 Technology ( 0.500 Technology by type, 0.250 - High_technology Business Districts, 0.250 - Technology Companies)
• 0.111 Society ( 0.333 - Organizations, 0.333 - Technology in Society, 0.333 - Labor)

What's the best open-source language processing programs available that can successfully do this stuff?

Answer 1

您可以使用开源NLTK Toolkit进行分类。

Answer 2

I would give NLTK a try, but scikit-learn, even though it has a steeper learning curve than NLTK, is probably a better bet. It's much more configurable.

Answer 3

There are several programs to do a part of this task, for a starter I recommend mallet . Note that any topic modeling program gives you the topics in the form you want, ie,

 ( 0.438 - Marketing , 0.375 - Companies, 0.062 - Office Work)

but the labels (in this example Business ) you need to assign yourself. Mallet also gives you a decomposition of the text to the topics (identified by numbers, not by the labels).
