সারসংক্ষেপ	The Structural Topic Model (STM) is a text-as-data method that discovers latent themes in a corpus while letting document metadata — party, time, gender, treatment condition — shape those themes. Introduced by Roberts, Stewart, Tingley and colleagues in 2014, it generalizes correlated topic modeling so that topic prevalence (how much a document is about a topic) and topic content (the words used to express a topic) can both depend on covariates. The result is a single model that simultaneously estimates topics and how their use varies across known groups, with uncertainty.	Supervised text classification trains a statistical model on documents that humans have hand-labeled, then uses it to assign categories — topic, tone, position, relevance — to the much larger set of unlabeled documents. Unlike dictionary methods, which apply a fixed word list, a supervised classifier learns from examples which textual features predict each category, so it can capture context-dependent and non-obvious cues. Grimmer and Stewart present it as a core text-as-data workflow, and a key insight is that for many political-science questions the goal is not perfect document-by-document labels but accurate estimates of category proportions across a corpus.
