BERTopic/Evidence
Method evidence record

BERTopic

BERTopic is a neural topic-modeling pipeline introduced by Maarten Grootendorst in 2022. It combines BERT-based contextual embeddings with UMAP dimensionality reduction and HDBSCAN clustering to produce coherent, dynamic topics, achieving higher topic coherence than classic topic models.
