요약	Text frequency analysis is a descriptive text-mining method that counts how often words, n-grams, and phrases occur in a corpus to reveal content patterns and dominant themes. It rests on the frequency-distribution insight formalised by George K. Zipf (1949), that a few terms occur very often while most are rare, and it is one of the most basic and widely used entry points into quantitative text analysis.	Topic Modeling is a family of unsupervised probabilistic techniques for discovering latent thematic structure in large text collections. By learning which words tend to co-occur, models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) automatically surface coherent topics — each represented as a distribution over vocabulary — without requiring labelled data.
