요약	The Structural Topic Model (STM) is a text-as-data method that discovers latent themes in a corpus while letting document metadata — party, time, gender, treatment condition — shape those themes. Introduced by Roberts, Stewart, Tingley and colleagues in 2014, it generalizes correlated topic modeling so that topic prevalence (how much a document is about a topic) and topic content (the words used to express a topic) can both depend on covariates. The result is a single model that simultaneously estimates topics and how their use varies across known groups, with uncertainty.	Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a probabilistic generative model introduced by Blei, Ng, and Jordan in 2003 that discovers hidden thematic structure in large text collections by representing each document as a mixture of latent topics and each topic as a probability distribution over vocabulary words.
