Abstract

Now days, topic models have been widely used to identify topics in text corpora. Topic modelling is a mechanism of extracting common topics which occurs among the collection of documents. Topic models are actually a suite of algorithms which uncover the hidden thematic structure in document collections. These algorithms shall definitely be help to develop new paradigms to search, browse and summarize large archive of texts. This paper presents a survey of various important topic modelling techniques and tools which highlights the probabilistic topic models. The primary aim of this paper is to help researchers who do not have a strong background in mathematics or statistics to feel comfortable with using topic modelling methods and tools in their research work. Apart from it, the merits and demerits of topic modelling methods are also summarized.
