contextualized-topic-models VS PolyFuzz

Compare contextualized-topic-models vs PolyFuzz and see what are their differences.

contextualized-topic-models

A python package to run contextualized topic modeling. CTMs combine contextualized embeddings (e.g., BERT) with topic models to get coherent topics. Published at EACL and ACL 2021. (by MilaNLProc)

    This library from MILA seems quite neat! I haven’t had the change to play with it though : https://github.com/MilaNLProc/contextualized-topic-models
  • Catogorize the Data- Topic Modelling algorithm
    1 project | /r/LanguageTechnology | 1 Oct 2021
    a bit of shameless self-promotion, but we developed a topic model (https://github.com/MilaNLProc/contextualized-topic-models) that actually supports that use case!
  • (NLP) Best practices for topic modeling and generating interesting topics?
    3 projects | /r/MLQuestions | 31 May 2021
    If you use CTM, you can provide the topic model two inputs: the preprocessed texts (that will be used by the topic model to generate the topical words) and the unpreprocessed texts (to generate the contextualized representations that will be later concatenated to the document bag-of-word representation). We saw that this slightly improves the performance instead of providing BERT the already-preprocessed text. This feature is supported in the original implementation of CTM, not in OCTIS.

    Cross-lingual Contextualized Topic Models with Zero-shot Learning from a team at MilaNLP which uses bag of words representations in combination with multi lingual embeddings from SBERT and works like a VAE (encode the input, use the encoded representation to decode back to a bag of words as close to the input as possible). Using SBERT embeddings makes their model generalise for other languages which may be useful. One major shortfall of this model as I understand is that it can't deal with long documents very elegantly - only up to BERT'S word limit (the workaround is to truncate and use the first words)
