Topic modeling is a text analysis technique that allows a researcher to quickly and effectively summarize a large corpus of documents. MALLET is the most-used topic modeling tool in digital humanities. This workshop will provide a brief overview of topic modeling, what it can do and where it has issues, and step through how to use the command-line implementation of MALLET to look at a set of documents. The workshop will be run by Elijah Meeks, who is one of the guest editors on the upcoming issue of the Journal of Digital Humanities special edition on topic modeling.

This workshop is offered at two times. This workshop is at 3pm. It is also offered at 2pm. Please see here.
