Semi-supervised LDA Topic Model

Semi-supervised LDA extends standard Latent Dirichlet Allocation by incorporating a small amount of supervision — seed words, labeled documents, or must-link/cannot-link word constraints — to guide topic discovery toward semantically coherent, interpretable themes. It bridges unsupervised topic modeling and fully supervised text classification, making it especially valuable when full annotation is costly.
