Tematisera

Tematisera is a term used in the field of linguistics and natural language processing to refer to the process of identifying and categorizing the main topics or themes within a given text. This process is crucial for various applications, including information retrieval, text summarization, and sentiment analysis. Tematisera involves several key steps: text preprocessing, topic modeling, and topic assignment. Text preprocessing typically includes tasks such as tokenization, stop-word removal, and stemming or lemmatization. Topic modeling algorithms, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) or Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), are then applied to the preprocessed text to identify latent topics. These algorithms work by assuming that each document is a mixture of topics, and each topic is a mixture of words. Once the topics are identified, they are assigned to the documents based on the probability distribution of words within each topic. The output of tematisera is a set of topics, each represented by a list of keywords, and a mapping of these topics to the documents in the corpus. Tematisera is a valuable tool for organizing and understanding large volumes of text data, enabling more efficient and effective analysis.
