How to understand the output of Topic Model class in Mallet?

Question

As I\'m trying out the examples code on topic modeling developer\'s guide, I really want to understand the meaning of the output of that code.

First during the running p

Answer 1

what I understand is that:

0   0.008   battle (8) union (7) confederate (6) grant (4) tennessee (4)   

• 0 is the topic number.
• 0.008 is the weight of such topic
• battle (8) union (7) [...] are the top-keywords in such topic. The numbers are the occurrences of the word in the topic.

Then, as result, you also obtain a .csv file. I think it contains the most important data of the process. You will find values like the following for each row:

0   0   285 10   page make items thing work put dec browsers recipes expressions 

That is:

1. Tree level
2. Topic ID
3. Total words
4. Total documents
5. Top-10 words
