Samenvatting	Self-supervised topic modeling combines the interpretable topic discovery of classical topic models with self-supervised learning objectives — such as contrastive loss, masked language modeling, or reconstruction — to learn coherent, semantically rich topics from unlabeled text without human-annotated labels. It bridges classical probabilistic topic models and modern representation learning, yielding topics better aligned with contextual meaning.	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.
