Samenvatting	Self-supervised LDA combines the probabilistic generative framework of Latent Dirichlet Allocation with self-supervised pretraining signals — such as masked-word prediction or contrastive document objectives — to guide topic discovery without requiring hand-labeled training data. The result is topic representations that are simultaneously grounded in distributional statistics and enriched by language structure learned from raw text.	Sentence Embeddings convert a sentence or short text into a single fixed-length dense vector that captures its semantic meaning. These vectors allow downstream tasks — semantic similarity, clustering, retrieval, and classification — to operate on numerical representations instead of raw text, making them one of the most versatile building blocks in modern NLP pipelines.
