In the piece “The Digital Humanities Contribution to Topic Modeling” by Meeks and Weingart topic modeling is discussed. More specifically, the authors look at the place of topic modeling within the digital humanities. The post also acts to pull together some resources from others about topic modeling. In fact, much of the information references links that are external to the piece, so without reading those links it is hard to understand the point trying to be made. The piece also mentions two tools for topic modeling, MALLET and Paper Machines. However, the article offers little explanation of what makes them popular or how they function. Overall, the post seems to talk about the field of topic modeling very generally, and rather vague opinions of others (“modeling points the way to a computing that is of as well as in the humanities”). I think in order to get the tangible important ideas of this article, it is necessary to read the external links.
