== Topical Guide ==

The Topical Guide is a web application that facilitates the discovery of topical patterns and trends in large document collections. The Topical Guide relies on probabilistic topic models, such as LDA, to reveal the semantic content in such large corpora. Many individualized visualizations of topic models have been reported in the literature, showing the potential of topic models to give valuable insight into a corpus. However, good, general, interactive tools for browsing the entire output of a topic model along with the analyzed corpus have been lacking. The Topical Guide is an interactive tool that incorporates both prior work in displaying topic models as well as some novel ideas that greatly enhance the visualization of data analyzed by these models for the sake of discovery of trends.
