BERTopic¶
BERTopic is a topic modeling technique that leverages BERT embeddings and c-TF-IDF to create dense clusters allowing for easily interpretable topics whilst keeping important words in the topic descriptions.
The default embedding model is all-MiniLM-L6-v2 when selecting language="english"
and paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 when selecting language="multilingual".
Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
topics_ |
List[int]) |
The topics that are generated for each document after training or updating the topic model. The most recent topics are tracked. |
probabilities_ |
List[float] |
The probability of the assigned topic per document. These are
only calculated if a HDBSCAN model is used for the clustering step.
When |
topic_sizes_ |
Mapping[int, int]) |
The size of each topic. |
topic_mapper_ |
TopicMapper) |
A class for tracking topics and their mappings anytime they are merged, reduced, added, or removed. |
topic_representations_ |
Mapping[int, Tuple[int, float]]) |
The top n terms per topic and their respective c-TF-IDF values. |
c_tf_idf_ |
csr_matrix) |
The topic-term matrix as calculated through c-TF-IDF. To access its respective
words, run |
topic_labels_ |
Mapping[int, str]) |
The default labels for each topic. |
custom_labels_ |
List[str]) |
Custom labels for each topic. |
topic_embeddings_ |
np.ndarray) |
The embeddings for each topic. They are calculated by taking the centroid embedding of each cluster. |
representative_docs_ |
Mapping[int, str]) |
The representative documents for each topic. |
Examples:
from bertopic import BERTopic
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups
docs = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='all')['data']
topic_model = BERTopic()
topics, probabilities = topic_model.fit_transform(docs)
If you want to use your own embedding model, use it as follows:
from bertopic import BERTopic
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
docs = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='all')['data']
sentence_model = SentenceTransformer("all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
topic_model = BERTopic(embedding_model=sentence_model)
Due to the stochastic nature of UMAP, the results from BERTopic might differ and the quality can degrade. Using your own embeddings allows you to try out BERTopic several times until you find the topics that suit you best.

"""BERTopic initialization.
Arguments:
language: The main language used in your documents. The default sentence-transformers
model for "english" is `all-MiniLM-L6-v2`. For a full overview of
supported languages see bertopic.backend.languages. Select
"multilingual" to load in the `paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2`
sentence-transformers model that supports 50+ languages.
NOTE: This is not used if `embedding_model` is used.
top_n_words: The number of words per topic to extract. Setting this
too high can negatively impact topic embeddings as topics
are typically best represented by at most 10 words.
n_gram_range: The n-gram range for the CountVectorizer.
Advised to keep high values between 1 and 3.
More would likely lead to memory issues.
NOTE: This param will not be used if you pass in your own
CountVectorizer.
min_topic_size: The minimum size of the topic. Increasing this value will lead
to a lower number of clusters/topics and vice versa.
It is the same parameter as `min_cluster_size` in HDBSCAN.
NOTE: This param will not be used if you are using `hdbscan_model`.
nr_topics: Specifying the number of topics will reduce the initial
number of topics to the value specified. This reduction can take
a while as each reduction in topics (-1) activates a c-TF-IDF
calculation. If this is set to None, no reduction is applied. Use
"auto" to automatically reduce topics using HDBSCAN.
NOTE: Controlling the number of topics is best done by adjusting
`min_topic_size` first before adjusting this parameter.
low_memory: Sets UMAP low memory to True to make sure less memory is used.
NOTE: This is only used in UMAP. For example, if you use PCA instead of UMAP
this parameter will not be used.
calculate_probabilities: Calculate the probabilities of all topics
per document instead of the probability of the assigned
topic per document. This could slow down the extraction
of topics if you have many documents (> 100_000).
NOTE: If false you cannot use the corresponding
visualization method `visualize_probabilities`.
NOTE: This is an approximation of topic probabilities
as used in HDBSCAN and not an exact representation.
seed_topic_list: A list of seed words per topic to converge around
zeroshot_topic_list: A list of topic names to use for zero-shot classification
zeroshot_min_similarity: The minimum similarity between a zero-shot topic and
a document for assignment. The higher this value, the more
confident the model needs to be to assign a zero-shot topic to a document.
verbose: Changes the verbosity of the model, Set to True if you want
to track the stages of the model.
embedding_model: Use a custom embedding model.
The following backends are currently supported
* SentenceTransformers
* Flair
* Spacy
* Gensim
* USE (TF-Hub)
You can also pass in a string that points to one of the following
sentence-transformers models:
* https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html
umap_model: Pass in a UMAP model to be used instead of the default.
NOTE: You can also pass in any dimensionality reduction algorithm as long
as it has `.fit` and `.transform` functions.
hdbscan_model: Pass in a hdbscan.HDBSCAN model to be used instead of the default
NOTE: You can also pass in any clustering algorithm as long as it has
`.fit` and `.predict` functions along with the `.labels_` variable.
vectorizer_model: Pass in a custom `CountVectorizer` instead of the default model.
ctfidf_model: Pass in a custom ClassTfidfTransformer instead of the default model.
representation_model: Pass in a model that fine-tunes the topic representations
calculated through c-TF-IDF. Models from `bertopic.representation`
are supported.

"""Fit BERTopic on a subset of the data and perform online learning
with batch-like data.
Online topic modeling in BERTopic is performed by using dimensionality
reduction and cluster algorithms that support a `partial_fit` method
in order to incrementally train the topic model.
Likewise, the `bertopic.vectorizers.OnlineCountVectorizer` is used
to dynamically update its vocabulary when presented with new data.
It has several parameters for modeling decay and updating the
representations.
In other words, although the main algorithm stays the same, the training
procedure now works as follows:
For each subset of the data:
1. Generate embeddings with a pre-trained language model
2. Incrementally update the dimensionality reduction algorithm with `partial_fit`
3. Incrementally update the cluster algorithm with `partial_fit`
4. Incrementally update the OnlineCountVectorizer and apply some form of decay
Note that it is advised to use `partial_fit` with batches and
not single documents for the best performance.

"""Create topics over time.
To create the topics over time, BERTopic needs to be already fitted once.
From the fitted models, the c-TF-IDF representations are calculate at
each timestamp t. Then, the c-TF-IDF representations at timestamp t are
averaged with the global c-TF-IDF representations in order to fine-tune the
local representations.
Note:
Make sure to use a limited number of unique timestamps (<100) as the
c-TF-IDF representation will be calculated at each single unique timestamp.
Having a large number of unique timestamps can take some time to be calculated.
Moreover, there aren't many use-cases where you would like to see the difference
in topic representations over more than 100 different timestamps.
Arguments:
docs: The documents you used when calling either `fit` or `fit_transform`
timestamps: The timestamp of each document. This can be either a list of strings or ints.
If it is a list of strings, then the datetime format will be automatically
inferred. If it is a list of ints, then the documents will be ordered in
ascending order.
topics: A list of topics where each topic is related to a document in `docs` and
a timestamp in `timestamps`. You can use this to apply topics_over_time on
a subset of the data. Make sure that `docs`, `timestamps`, and `topics`
all correspond to one another and have the same size.
nr_bins: The number of bins you want to create for the timestamps. The left interval will
be chosen as the timestamp. An additional column will be created with the
entire interval.
datetime_format: The datetime format of the timestamps if they are strings, eg “%d/%m/%Y”.
Set this to None if you want to have it automatically detect the format.
See strftime documentation for more information on choices:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior.
evolution_tuning: Fine-tune each topic representation at timestamp *t* by averaging its
c-TF-IDF matrix with the c-TF-IDF matrix at timestamp *t-1*. This creates
evolutionary topic representations.
global_tuning: Fine-tune each topic representation at timestamp *t* by averaging its c-TF-IDF matrix
with the global c-TF-IDF matrix. Turn this off if you want to prevent words in
topic representations that could not be found in the documents at timestamp *t*.
Returns:
topics_over_time: A dataframe that contains the topic, words, and frequency of topic
at timestamp *t*.
Examples:
The timestamps variable represents the timestamp of each document. If you have over
100 unique timestamps, it is advised to bin the timestamps as shown below:
```python
from bertopic import BERTopic
topic_model = BERTopic()
topics, probs = topic_model.fit_transform(docs)
topics_over_time = topic_model.topics_over_time(docs, timestamps, nr_bins=20)

"""A post-hoc approximation of topic distributions across documents.
In order to perform this approximation, each document is split into tokens
according to the provided tokenizer in the `CountVectorizer`. Then, a
sliding window is applied on each document creating subsets of the document.
For example, with a window size of 3 and stride of 1, the sentence:
`Solving the right problem is difficult.`
can be split up into `solving the right`, `the right problem`, `right problem is`,
and `problem is difficult`. These are called tokensets. For each of these
tokensets, we calculate their c-TF-IDF representation and find out
how similar they are to the previously generated topics. Then, the
similarities to the topics for each tokenset are summed up in order to
create a topic distribution for the entire document.
We can also dive into this a bit deeper by then splitting these tokensets
up into individual tokens and calculate how much a word, in a specific sentence,
contributes to the topics found in that document. This can be enabled by
setting `calculate_tokens=True` which can be used for visualization purposes
in `topic_model.visualize_approximate_distribution`.
The main output, `topic_distributions`, can also be used directly in
`.visualize_distribution(topic_distributions[index])` by simply selecting
a single distribution.
Arguments:
documents: A single document or a list of documents for which we
approximate their topic distributions
window: Size of the moving window which indicates the number of
tokens being considered.
stride: How far the window should move at each step.
min_similarity: The minimum similarity of a document's tokenset
with respect to the topics.
batch_size: The number of documents to process at a time. If None,
then all documents are processed at once.
NOTE: With a large number of documents, it is not
advised to process all documents at once.
padding: Whether to pad the beginning and ending of a document with
empty tokens.
use_embedding_model: Whether to use the topic model's embedding
model to calculate the similarity between
tokensets and topics instead of using c-TF-IDF.
calculate_tokens: Calculate the similarity of tokens with all topics.
NOTE: This is computation-wise more expensive and
can require more memory. Using this over batches of
documents might be preferred.
separator: The separator used to merge tokens into tokensets.
Returns:
topic_distributions: A `n` x `m` matrix containing the topic distributions
for all input documents with `n` being the documents
and `m` the topics.
topic_token_distributions: A list of `t` x `m` arrays with `t` being the
number of tokens for the respective document
and `m` the topics.
Examples:
After fitting the model, the topic distributions can be calculated regardless
of the clustering model and regardless of whether the documents were previously
seen or not:
```python
topic_distr, _ = topic_model.approximate_distribution(docs)
```
As a result, the topic distributions are calculated in `topic_distr` for the
entire document based on a token set with a specific window size and stride.
If you want to calculate the topic distributions on a token-level:
```python
topic_distr, topic_token_distr = topic_model.approximate_distribution(docs, calculate_tokens=True)
```
The `topic_token_distr` then contains, for each token, the best fitting topics.
As with `topic_distr`, it can contain multiple topics for a single token.

n_gram_range: The n-gram range for the CountVectorizer.
vectorizer_model: Pass in your own CountVectorizer from scikit-learn
ctfidf_model: Pass in your own c-TF-IDF model to update the representations
representation_model: Pass in a model that fine-tunes the topic representations
calculated through c-TF-IDF. Models from `bertopic.representation`
are supported.
Examples:
In order to update the topic representation, you will need to first fit the topic
model and extract topics from them. Based on these, you can update the representation:
```python
topic_model.update_topics(docs, n_gram_range=(2, 3))
```
You can also use a custom vectorizer to update the representation:
```python
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
vectorizer_model = CountVectorizer(ngram_range=(1, 2), stop_words="english")
topic_model.update_topics(docs, vectorizer_model=vectorizer_model)
```
You can also use this function to change or map the topics to something else.
You can update them as follows:
```python
topic_model.update_topics(docs, my_updated_topics)
```

When using HDBSCAN, DBSCAN, or OPTICS, a number of outlier documents might be created
that do not fall within any of the created topics. These are labeled as -1.
This function allows the user to match outlier documents with their nearest topic
using one of the following strategies using the `strategy` parameter:
* "probabilities"
This uses the soft-clustering as performed by HDBSCAN to find the
best matching topic for each outlier document. To use this, make
sure to calculate the `probabilities` beforehand by instantiating
BERTopic with `calculate_probabilities=True`.
* "distributions"
Use the topic distributions, as calculated with `.approximate_distribution`
to find the most frequent topic in each outlier document. You can use the
`distributions_params` variable to tweak the parameters of
`.approximate_distribution`.
* "c-tf-idf"
Calculate the c-TF-IDF representation for each outlier document and
find the best matching c-TF-IDF topic representation using
cosine similarity.
* "embeddings"
Using the embeddings of each outlier documents, find the best
matching topic embedding using cosine similarity.
Arguments:

topics: The topics that correspond to the documents
images: A list of paths to the images used when calling either

to find the best matching topic for each outlier document.
* "distributions"
Use the topic distributions, as calculated with `.approximate_distribution`
to find the most frequent topic in each outlier document.
* "c-tf-idf"
Calculate the c-TF-IDF representation for outlier documents and
find the best matching c-TF-IDF topic representation.
* "embeddings"
Calculate the embeddings for outlier documents and
find the best matching topic embedding.
probabilities: Probabilities generated by HDBSCAN for each document when using the strategy `"probabilities"`.
threshold: The threshold for assigning topics to outlier documents. This value

|---|---|---|---|
language |
str |
The main language used in your documents. The default sentence-transformers
model for "english" is |
'english' |
top_n_words |
int |
The number of words per topic to extract. Setting this too high can negatively impact topic embeddings as topics are typically best represented by at most 10 words. |
10 |
n_gram_range |
Tuple[int, int] |
The n-gram range for the CountVectorizer. Advised to keep high values between 1 and 3. More would likely lead to memory issues. NOTE: This param will not be used if you pass in your own CountVectorizer. |
(1, 1) |
min_topic_size |
int |
The minimum size of the topic. Increasing this value will lead
to a lower number of clusters/topics and vice versa.
It is the same parameter as |
10 |
nr_topics |
Union[int, str] |
Specifying the number of topics will reduce the initial
number of topics to the value specified. This reduction can take
a while as each reduction in topics (-1) activates a c-TF-IDF
calculation. If this is set to None, no reduction is applied. Use
"auto" to automatically reduce topics using HDBSCAN.
NOTE: Controlling the number of topics is best done by adjusting

False |
calculate_probabilities |
bool |
Calculate the probabilities of all topics
per document instead of the probability of the assigned
topic per document. This could slow down the extraction
of topics if you have many documents (> 100_000).

approximate_distribution(self, documents, window=4, stride=1, min_similarity=0.1, batch_size=1000, padding=False, use_embedding_model=False, calculate_tokens=False, separator=' ')
¶
A post-hoc approximation of topic distributions across documents.
In order to perform this approximation, each document is split into tokens
according to the provided tokenizer in the CountVectorizer. Then, a
sliding window is applied on each document creating subsets of the document.
For example, with a window size of 3 and stride of 1, the sentence:
Solving the right problem is difficult.
can be split up into solving the right, the right problem, right problem is,
and problem is difficult. These are called tokensets. For each of these
tokensets, we calculate their c-TF-IDF representation and find out
how similar they are to the previously generated topics. Then, the
similarities to the topics for each tokenset are summed up in order to
create a topic distribution for the entire document.
We can also dive into this a bit deeper by then splitting these tokensets
up into individual tokens and calculate how much a word, in a specific sentence,
contributes to the topics found in that document. This can be enabled by
setting calculate_tokens=True which can be used for visualization purposes
in topic_model.visualize_approximate_distribution.
The main output, topic_distributions, can also be used directly in
.visualize_distribution(topic_distributions[index]) by simply selecting
a single distribution.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
documents |
Union[str, List[str]] |
A single document or a list of documents for which we approximate their topic distributions |
required |
window |
int |

0.1 |
batch_size |
int |

Create a hierarchy of topics.
To create this hierarchy, BERTopic needs to be already fitted once.
Then, a hierarchy is calculated on the distance matrix of the c-TF-IDF or topic embeddings

classmethod
¶
Merge multiple pre-trained BERTopic models into a single model.
The models are merged as if they were all saved using pytorch or safetensors, so a minimal version without c-TF-IDF.
To do this, we choose the first model in the list of models as a baseline. Then, we check each model whether they contain topics that are not in the baseline. This check is based on the cosine similarity between topics embeddings. If topic embeddings between two models are similar, then the topic of the second model is re-assigned to the first. If they are dissimilar, the topic of the second model is assigned to the first.
In essence, we simply check whether sufficiently "new" topics emerge and add them.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
models |
A list of fitted BERTopic models |
required | |
min_similarity |
float |
The minimum similarity for when topics are merged. |
0.7 |

¶
Fit BERTopic on a subset of the data and perform online learning with batch-like data.
Online topic modeling in BERTopic is performed by using dimensionality
reduction and cluster algorithms that support a partial_fit method
in order to incrementally train the topic model.
Likewise, the bertopic.vectorizers.OnlineCountVectorizer is used
to dynamically update its vocabulary when presented with new data.
It has several parameters for modeling decay and updating the
representations.
In other words, although the main algorithm stays the same, the training procedure now works as follows:
For each subset of the data:
- Generate embeddings with a pre-trained language model
- Incrementally update the dimensionality reduction algorithm with
partial_fit - Incrementally update the cluster algorithm with
partial_fit - Incrementally update the OnlineCountVectorizer and apply some form of decay
Note that it is advised to use partial_fit with batches and
not single documents for the best performance.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
documents |
List[str] |
A list of documents to fit on |
required |
embeddings |
ndarray |
Pre-trained document embeddings. These can be used instead of the sentence-transformer model |
None |
y |
Union[List[int], numpy.ndarray] |
The target class for (semi)-supervised modeling. Use -1 if no class for a specific instance is specified. |
None |

Likewise, the `bertopic.vectorizers.OnlineCountVectorizer` is used
to dynamically update its vocabulary when presented with new data.
It has several parameters for modeling decay and updating the
representations.
In other words, although the main algorithm stays the same, the training
procedure now works as follows:
For each subset of the data:
1. Generate embeddings with a pre-trained language model
2. Incrementally update the dimensionality reduction algorithm with `partial_fit`
3. Incrementally update the cluster algorithm with `partial_fit`
4. Incrementally update the OnlineCountVectorizer and apply some form of decay
Note that it is advised to use `partial_fit` with batches and
not single documents for the best performance.
Arguments:
documents: A list of documents to fit on
embeddings: Pre-trained document embeddings. These can be used
instead of the sentence-transformer model
y: The target class for (semi)-supervised modeling. Use -1 if no class for a
specific instance is specified.

reduce_outliers(self, documents, topics, images=None, strategy='distributions', probabilities=None, threshold=0, embeddings=None, distributions_params={})
¶
Reduce outliers by merging them with their nearest topic according to one of several strategies.
When using HDBSCAN, DBSCAN, or OPTICS, a number of outlier documents might be created
that do not fall within any of the created topics. These are labeled as -1.
This function allows the user to match outlier documents with their nearest topic
using one of the following strategies using the strategy parameter:
* "probabilities"
This uses the soft-clustering as performed by HDBSCAN to find the
best matching topic for each outlier document. To use this, make
sure to calculate the probabilities beforehand by instantiating
BERTopic with calculate_probabilities=True.
* "distributions"
Use the topic distributions, as calculated with .approximate_distribution
to find the most frequent topic in each outlier document. You can use the
distributions_params variable to tweak the parameters of
.approximate_distribution.
* "c-tf-idf"
Calculate the c-TF-IDF representation for each outlier document and
find the best matching c-TF-IDF topic representation using
cosine similarity.
* "embeddings"
Using the embeddings of each outlier documents, find the best
matching topic embedding using cosine similarity.

¶
Create topics over time.
To create the topics over time, BERTopic needs to be already fitted once. From the fitted models, the c-TF-IDF representations are calculate at each timestamp t. Then, the c-TF-IDF representations at timestamp t are averaged with the global c-TF-IDF representations in order to fine-tune the local representations.
Note
Make sure to use a limited number of unique timestamps (<100) as the c-TF-IDF representation will be calculated at each single unique timestamp. Having a large number of unique timestamps can take some time to be calculated. Moreover, there aren't many use-cases where you would like to see the difference in topic representations over more than 100 different timestamps.
Parameters:

docs |
List[str] |
The documents you used when calling either |
required |
timestamps |
Union[List[str], List[int]] |
The timestamp of each document. This can be either a list of strings or ints. If it is a list of strings, then the datetime format will be automatically inferred. If it is a list of ints, then the documents will be ordered in ascending order. |
required |
topics |
List[int] |
A list of topics where each topic is related to a document in |
None |
nr_bins |
int |
The number of bins you want to create for the timestamps. The left interval will be chosen as the timestamp. An additional column will be created with the entire interval. |
None |
datetime_format |
str |
The datetime format of the timestamps if they are strings, eg “%d/%m/%Y”. Set this to None if you want to have it automatically detect the format. See strftime documentation for more information on choices: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior. |
None |
evolution_tuning |
bool |
Fine-tune each topic representation at timestamp t by averaging its c-TF-IDF matrix with the c-TF-IDF matrix at timestamp t-1. This creates evolutionary topic representations. |
True |
global_tuning |
bool |
Fine-tune each topic representation at timestamp t by averaging its c-TF-IDF matrix with the global c-TF-IDF matrix. Turn this off if you want to prevent words in topic representations that could not be found in the documents at timestamp t. |

on a token level. Thereby indicating the extent to which a certain word or phrase belongs
to a specific topic. The assumption here is that a single word can belong to multiple
similar topics and as such can give information about the broader set of topics within
a single document.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
topic_model |
A fitted BERTopic instance. |
required | |
document |
str |
The document for which you want to visualize the approximated topic distribution. |
required |
topic_token_distribution |
ndarray |
The topic-token distribution of the document as
extracted by |
required |

bool |
Whether to normalize, between 0 and 1 (summing up to 1), the topic distribution values. |
False |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
df |
A stylized dataframe indicating the best fitting topics for each token. |
Examples:
# Calculate the topic distributions on a token level
# Note that we need to have `calculate_token_level=True`
topic_distr, topic_token_distr = topic_model.approximate_distribution(
docs, calculate_token_level=True
)
# Visualize the approximated topic distributions
df = topic_model.visualize_approximate_distribution(docs[0], topic_token_distr[0])

"""Visualize documents and their topics in 2D at different levels of hierarchy.
Arguments:
docs: The documents you used when calling either `fit` or `fit_transform`
hierarchical_topics: A dataframe that contains a hierarchy of topics
represented by their parents and their children
topics: A selection of topics to visualize.
Not to be confused with the topics that you get from `.fit_transform`.
For example, if you want to visualize only topics 1 through 5:
`topics = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`.
embeddings: The embeddings of all documents in `docs`.
reduced_embeddings: The 2D reduced embeddings of all documents in `docs`.
sample: The percentage of documents in each topic that you would like to keep.
Value can be between 0 and 1. Setting this value to, for example,
0.1 (10% of documents in each topic) makes it easier to visualize
millions of documents as a subset is chosen.
hide_annotations: Hide the names of the traces on top of each cluster.
hide_document_hover: Hide the content of the documents when hovering over
specific points. Helps to speed up generation of visualizations.
nr_levels: The number of levels to be visualized in the hierarchy. First, the distances
in `hierarchical_topics.Distance` are split in `nr_levels` lists of distances with
equal length. Then, for each list of distances, the merged topics, that have
a distance less or equal to the maximum distance of the selected list of distances, are selected.
NOTE: To get all possible merged steps, make sure that `nr_levels` is equal to
the length of `hierarchical_topics`.
level_scale: Whether to apply a linear or logarithmic ('log') scale levels of the distance
vector. Linear scaling will perform an equal number of merges at each level
while logarithmic scaling will perform more mergers in earlier levels to
provide more resolution at higher levels (this can be used for when the number
of topics is large).
custom_labels: Whether to use custom topic labels that were defined using
`topic_model.set_topic_labels`.
NOTE: Custom labels are only generated for the original
un-merged topics.
title: Title of the plot.
width: The width of the figure.
height: The height of the figure.
Examples:
To visualize the topics simply run:
```python
topic_model.visualize_hierarchical_documents(docs, hierarchical_topics)
```
Do note that this re-calculates the embeddings and reduces them to 2D.
The advised and preferred pipeline for using this function is as follows:
```python
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from bertopic import BERTopic
from umap import UMAP
# Prepare embeddings
docs = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='all', remove=('headers', 'footers', 'quotes'))['data']
sentence_model = SentenceTransformer("all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
embeddings = sentence_model.encode(docs, show_progress_bar=False)
# Train BERTopic and extract hierarchical topics
topic_model = BERTopic().fit(docs, embeddings)
hierarchical_topics = topic_model.hierarchical_topics(docs)
# Reduce dimensionality of embeddings, this step is optional
# reduced_embeddings = UMAP(n_neighbors=10, n_components=2, min_dist=0.0, metric='cosine').fit_transform(embeddings)
# Run the visualization with the original embeddings
topic_model.visualize_hierarchical_documents(docs, hierarchical_topics, embeddings=embeddings)
# Or, if you have reduced the original embeddings already:
topic_model.visualize_hierarchical_documents(docs, hierarchical_topics, reduced_embeddings=reduced_embeddings)
