Fast Topic Models Using Varimax |
Statements
Fits topic models using varimax-rotated principal component analysis (PCA), following the "vintage factor analysis" approach of Rohe & Zheng (2020) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2004.05387>. Leverages truncated PCA via 'irlba' for sparse matrices, enabling fast model fitting on large corpora. Includes an information-theoretic approach to vocabulary selection, 'broom'-compatible tidiers for extracting word-topic and topic-document matrices into a tidy data workflow, and samplers for constructing simulated corpora for benchmarking and method evaluation.
