Log 4: Topic Modelling a Text

For this entry, I'm asking you to run this MALLET topic modelling tool at least five times, using different parameters, through a text or collection of texts of your choice. Based on my experience, I recommend using TXT files. If you prefer, then you are more than welcome (encouraged, even) to operate MALLET via the command line.

In your log entry, please:

No need to write much here. Between 250 and 350 words is perfectly fine. Also, as you write, you might want to consult this page, which contains an overview of MALLET and some related resources, including other scholars' perspectives on topic modelling.

Let me know what questions or concerns you have!
