pyLDAvis

Python library for interactive topic model visualization. This is a port of the fabulous R package by Carson Sievert and Kenny Shirley.

LDAvis icon

pyLDAvis is designed to help users interpret the topics in a topic model that has been fit to a corpus of text data. The package extracts information from a fitted LDA topic model to inform an interactive web-based visualization.

The visualization is intended to be used within an IPython notebook but can also be saved to a stand-alone HTML file for easy sharing.

For a concise explanation of the visualization see this vignette from the LDAvis R package.

Video demos

Ben Mabey walked through the visualization in this short talk using a Hacker News corpus:

Carson Sievert created a video demoing the R package. The visualization is the same and so it applies equally to pyLDAvis:
