Dendogram of 300-topic model of 2007-2009 LA Times & Washington Post
This clustering was created as follows:
- Upload the Mallet topic_counts.txt file for the model to Lexos
- Select the file in the Lexos "Manage" panel
- Use the Lexos "multigraph" (in the Visualize panel) to create "topic documents"
- Use the Lexos hierarchical clustering (in the Analyze panel) to create a dendogram
- Export the graph data in Newick format
- Use the Dendoscope standalone program to open the Newick file, generate the dendogram, and tweak it.
- Use the Summer online image-map generator to create hot-spot links in the image to jump to particular topics.
Dendogram below. Click on topic labels to go to dfr-browser view of the topic. (Note: Because Mallet files number topics beginning with "0," while dfr-browser begins numbering topics at "1," the topic labels in this dendogram are offset by -1 from the dff-browser topic. For example: clicking on topic 254 below will jump to the dfr-browser view of topic 255.)
