Toposcope

Version: 1.0 (2024-04-01)

Toposcope is a tool that can be used to automatically detect topics in large amounts of text data. After uploading a corpus, the user can select one out of four available topic modeling algorithms, and tweak its most important parameters. The tool also includes a number of preprocessing steps that can be used to improve results. The output contains raw annotations, but also visualizations of the aggregated results.
