Familia: An Open-Source Toolkit for Industrial Topic Modeling
This toolkit addresses the problem of topic model selection and utilization for software engineers in industry, offering practical tools and applications, though it is incremental as it builds on existing methods.
The authors introduced Familia, an open-source toolkit for industrial topic modeling that abstracts utilities into semantic representation and matching paradigms, providing efficient implementations and pre-trained models like LDA, SentenceLDA, and TWE on large-scale corpora.
Familia is an open-source toolkit for pragmatic topic modeling in industry. Familia abstracts the utilities of topic modeling in industry as two paradigms: semantic representation and semantic matching. Efficient implementations of the two paradigms are made publicly available for the first time. Furthermore, we provide off-the-shelf topic models trained on large-scale industrial corpora, including Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), SentenceLDA and Topical Word Embedding (TWE). We further describe typical applications which are successfully powered by topic modeling, in order to ease the confusions and difficulties of software engineers during topic model selection and utilization.
