LDAvis: A method for visualizing and interpreting topics

Open access
Sievert, Carson, Shirley, Kenneth·2014·Proceedings of the Workshop on Interactive Language Learning, Visualization, and Interfaces

Abstract

We present LDAvis, a web-based interac-tive visualization of topics estimated using Latent Dirichlet Allocation that is built us-ing a combination of R and D3. Our visu-alization provides a global view of the top-ics (and how they differ from each other), while at the same time allowing for a deep inspection of the terms most highly asso-ciated with each individual topic. First, we propose a novel method for choosing which terms to present to a user to aid in the task of topic interpretation, in which we define the relevance of a term to a topic. Second, we present results from a user study that suggest that ranking terms purely by their probability under a topic is suboptimal for topic interpretation. Last, we describe LDAvis, our visualization system that allows users to flexibly explore topic-term relationships using relevance to better understand a fitted LDA model. 1

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
