Muhtasari	Semi-supervised Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) Topic Model extends unsupervised NMF by incorporating user-provided seed words or label constraints to steer discovered topics toward domain-relevant themes. It factorizes a document-term matrix into interpretable non-negative components while respecting lexical priors, yielding coherent, application-aligned topics even from modest corpora.	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.
