tiny update to simplify install instructions #2

Closed benmarwick closed 10 years ago

cpsievert commented 10 years ago

Thanks! I originally wrote the install instructions that way to keep it anonymous, but that shouldn't be an issue anymore.

We'd love to have feedback/criticism/suggestions from you regarding the new visualization. For example, are there topical distance calculations that you would like added?

Something I'm quite interested to explore further is topic quality metrics, along the lines proposed in here: https://people.cs.umass.edu/~wallach/publications/mimno11optimizing.pdf (topic size, coherence, word co-occurrence, etc.). I think some of these might be computed by MALLET.

You have some amazing insights at the word level in the LDAviz, and the code for identifying the optimum number of topics in the pre-processing is very handy. What do you think about adding some topic-level quality indicators?

Thanks for the suggestion! This is new territory for me, so I'll have to give this a careful read and some thought...
