Finds topics in a collection of texts with BERTopic in a Streamlit page, for researchers and analysts who want to try topic modeling without writing code. HF BERTopic is a kit in the Research category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by Hellisotherpeople ## About ### What it is HF BERTopic is a Streamlit app that, by its name, applies BERTopic to text. BERTopic is a topic modeling method that groups similar documents. The record names the DebateSum dataset and says the Space runs on basic CPU hardware at Hugging Face. ### Who it suits It suits researchers, analysts and students who want to see what topics sit inside a pile of text. It also suits developers who want a small Streamlit example of topic modeling. The record gives no usage notes, so expect to learn it by clicking. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Research | Text analysts | Group a text collection into topics | Open the Space and look at the topics it finds | | Education | Students of language data | Learn what topic modeling returns | Compare the topics with what the texts say | | Software | Python developers | Read a small topic modeling app | Open app.py and follow how the page is built | You can skip it if you need a tested pipeline for production data. ### Where to use it - A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face - Python 3.12 on Windows, macOS or Linux, from a downloaded copy | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Explore topics in texts | Analysts | Groups of related documents with topic labels | | Teach topic modeling | Teachers and students | A hands-on page to click through | | Reuse the app as a base | Developers | A small Streamlit app to adapt | ### How to set it up - Nothing at all if you use the online Space - Python 3.12 on your computer, only if you run a copy - The packages listed in requirements.txt 1. Open the Space's page in a browser to use it with nothing to install. 2. To run a copy, install the Hugging Face Hub package and download the Space. 3. Move into the new folder, then install Streamlit and the listed requirements. 4. Start the app with Streamlit. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Hellisotherpeople/HF-BERTopic --repo-type space --local-dir HF-BERTopic cd HF-BERTopic pip install streamlit pip install -r requirements.txt streamlit run app.py ``` ### How to use it Online, open the Space and use the controls on its page. On your own machine, run the main file with Streamlit from the Space folder, then use the page it serves. The record does not list the controls, so look at the page. ```sh streamlit run app.py ``` ### Example You open the Space and let it work on the dataset it names, or on text you supply if the page allows that. The app returns the topics it finds in the texts. The record shows no sample output, so check the page. ### For newcomers and experts Topic modeling sorts many texts into groups that share a subject, without you naming the groups first. Start by opening the Space and reading the topics it lists for the sample data. If you know the field, BERTopic builds on sentence embeddings and clustering, so results depend on the embedding model and the settings. The record gives no parameters or evaluation figures, so judge the topics against the texts yourself. You load texts or use the sample data → The app turns the texts into vectors → Similar texts are grouped → The page shows the topics ### Good to know - License: MIT, as listed on the Space - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the text you provide and the DebateSum dataset it names - Not for: the record names no exclusions, and it gives no accuracy figures ## README ````markdown # HF BERTopic Finds topics in a collection of texts with BERTopic in a Streamlit page, for researchers and analysts who want to try topic modeling without writing code.
