Weakly Supervised Topic Modeling
Weakly supervised topic modeling incorporates lightweight domain knowledge — typically seed words or soft constraints — into a probabilistic topic model to steer discovered topics toward researcher-meaningful themes. It sits between fully unsupervised LDA and supervised classifiers, requiring far less annotation than the latter while producing more interpretable and domain-aligned topics than the former.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
