Seeded Sequential LDA can classify sentences of texts into pre-define topics with a small number of seed words (Watanabe & Baturo, 2023) doi:10.1177/08944393231178605. Implements Seeded LDA (Lu et al., 2010) doi:10.1109/ICDMW.2011.125 and Sequential LDA (Du et al., 2012) doi:10.1007/s10115-011-0425-1 with the distributed LDA algorithm (Newman, et al., 2009) for parallel computing.
