1. Every word in a text belongs to a topic.

Page 22: TOPIC MODELING: WHY, AND HOW - Brown University · “A topic model is a type of statistical model for discovering the ... Topic Modeling ≈ LDA Latent Dirichlet Allocation. EXAMPLES.

2. Every word in a text is generated from one of the topics thatmake up the text.

3. Each text is made up of all the topics you could ever find.

4.The computer does not need to know what the words mean.
