Topic models allow the probabilistic modeling of term frequency occurrences in documents.
The fitted model can be used to estimate the similarity between documents as
well as between a set of specified keywords using an additional layer of latent variables
which are referred to as topics. The R package topicmodels provides basic infrastructure
for fitting topic models based on data structures from the text mining package tm. The
package includes interfaces to two algorithms for fitting topic models: the variational
expectation-maximization algorithm provided by David M. Blei and co-authors and an
algorithm using Gibbs sampling by Xuan-Hieu Phan and co-authors.
