BERTopic VS gensim

Try experimenting with different hyperparameters, clustering algorithms and embedding representations. Try https://github.com/MaartenGr/BERTopic/tree/master/bertopic

Try out this notebook which comes with the BERTopic repository.

After some googling, I found this (but for M1 chip Mac) --I wonder if I'm stuck. Is this laptop just not up for the job of working with sentence transformers? Appreciate your advice

Most has already been said and I am not sure how relevant this is but since you are focusing on human raters it might be worthwhile to mention that there is a Pull Request in BERTopic that allows you to use models on top of the default pipeline that further fine-tunes the topic representation. In theory, this would allow you to even use ChatGPT or any of the other OpenAI models to label the topics. From a human annotator perspective, this might be interesting to pursue.

The BERTopic library allows you to plug and play any type of embedding.

A number of excellent topic modeling libraries exist in Python today. BERTopic and Top2Vec are two of the most popular. Both use sentence-transformers to encode data into vectors, UMAP for dimensionality reduction and HDBSCAN to cluster nodes.

BERTopic is a library to consider if you want something that groups data by topic.

I have experimented a bit with BERTopic but didn't find the results very useful. The issue is, that it is very important what exactly people are liking or disliking about the products, not just the fact that they are talking about specific aspects.

This is our optimization problem. Now, we hope that you have an idea of what our goal is. Luckily for us, this is already implemented in a Python module called gensim. Yes, these guys are brilliant in natural language processing and we will make use of it. 🤝

Standout python NLP libraries include Spacy and Gensim, as well as pre-trained model availability in Hugginface. These libraries have widespread use in and support from industry and it shows. Spacy has best-in-class methods for pre-processing text for further applications. Gensim helps you manage your corpus of documents, and contains a lot of different tools for solving a common industry task, topic modeling.

Here we have to install the gensim library in a jupyter notebook to be able to use it in our project, consider the code below;

Nice work! I wonder if you're going the same challenges that gensim had for being generic in summarization.

For context:

> Despite its general-sounding name, the module will not satisfy the majority of use cases in production and is likely to waste people's time.

TextRank will work without any problems. https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/

For the topic modelling itself, I am going to use Gensim library by Radim Rehurek, which is very developer friendly and easy to use.
