NMF Topic Modeling/Evidence
Method evidence record

NMF Topic Modeling

NMF topic modeling uses Non-negative Matrix Factorization — the parts-based decomposition introduced by Lee and Seung (1999) — to extract document-topic distributions from a corpus. By factoring a document-term matrix into two non-negative matrices, it recovers a small set of topics and tends to produce more interpretable topics than LDA.
