Multilingual Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) Pipeline

This project is for text clustering using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm. It can be adapted to many languages provided that the Snowball stemmer, a dependency of this project, supports it.

Usage

from artifici_lda.lda_service import train_lda_pipeline_default


FR_STOPWORDS = [
    "le", "les", "la", "un", "de", "en",
    "a", "b", "c", "s",
    "est", "sur", "tres", "donc", "sont",
    # even slang/texto stop words:
    "ya", "pis", "yer"]
# Note: this list of stop words is poor and is just as an example.

fr_comments = [
    "Un super-chat marche sur le trottoir",
    "Les super-chats aiment ronronner",
    "Les chats sont ronrons",
    "Un super-chien aboie",
    "Deux super-chiens",
    "Combien de chiens sont en train d'aboyer?"
]

transformed_comments, top_comments, _1_grams, _2_grams = train_lda_pipeline_default(
    fr_comments,
    n_topics=2,
    stopwords=FR_STOPWORDS,
    language='french')

print(transformed_comments)
print(top_comments)
print(_1_grams)
print(_2_grams)

Output:

array([[0.14218195, 0.85781805],
       [0.11032992, 0.88967008],
       [0.16960695, 0.83039305],
       [0.88967041, 0.11032959],
       [0.8578187 , 0.1421813 ],
       [0.83039303, 0.16960697]])

['Un super-chien aboie', 'Les super-chats aiment ronronner']

[[('chiens', 3.4911404011996545), ('super', 2.5000203653313933)],
 [('chats',  3.4911393765493255), ('super', 2.499979634668601 )]]

[[('super chiens', 2.4921035508342464)],
 [('super chats',  2.492102155345991 )]]

How it works

See Multilingual-LDA-Pipeline-Tutorial for an exhaustive example (intended to be read from top to bottom, not skimmed through). For more explanations on the Inverse Lemmatization, see Stemming-words-from-multiple-languages.

Supported Languages

Those languages are supported:

• Danish
• Dutch
• English
• Finnish
• French
• German
• Hungarian
• Italian
• Norwegian
• Porter
• Portuguese
• Romanian
• Russian
• Spanish
• Swedish
• Turkish

You need to bring your own list of stop words. That could be achieved by computing the Term Frequencies on your corpus (or on a bigger corpus of the same language) and to use some of the most common words as stop words.
