# BTM - Biterm Topic Modelling for Short Text with R
This is an R package wrapping the C++ code available at https://github.com/xiaohuiyan/BTM for constructing a **Biterm Topic Model (BTM)**. This model models word-word co-occurrences patterns (e.g., biterms).
> Topic modelling using biterms is particularly good for finding topics in short texts (as occurs in short survey answers or twitter data).
### Installation
This R package is on CRAN, just install it with `install.packages('BTM')`
### What
The Biterm Topic Model (BTM) is a word co-occurrence based topic model that learns topics by modeling word-word co-occurrences patterns (e.g., biterms)
- A biterm consists of two words co-occurring in the same context, for example, in the same short text window.
- BTM models the biterm occurrences in a corpus (unlike LDA models which model the word occurrences in a document).
- It's a generative model. In the generation procedure, a biterm is generated by drawing two words independently from a same topic `z`. In other words, the distribution of a biterm `b=(wi,wj)` is defined as: `P(b) = sum_k{P(wi|z)*P(wj|z)*P(z)}` where k is the number of topics you want to extract.
- Estimation of the topic model is done with the Gibbs sampling algorithm. Where estimates are provided for `P(w|k)=phi` and `P(z)=theta`.

### Example
```
library(udpipe)
library(BTM)
data("brussels_reviews_anno", package = "udpipe")
## Taking only nouns of Dutch data
x <- subset(brussels_reviews_anno, language == "nl")
x <- subset(x, xpos %in% c("NN", "NNP", "NNS"))
x <- x[, c("doc_id", "lemma")]
## Building the model
set.seed(321)
model <- BTM(x, k = 3, beta = 0.01, iter = 1000, trace = 100)
## Inspect the model - topic frequency + conditional term probabilities

**Make a specific topic called the background**
```
# If you set background to TRUE
# The first topic is set to a background topic that equals to the empirical word distribution.
# This can be used to filter out common words.
set.seed(321)
model <- BTM(x, k = 5, beta = 0.01, background = TRUE, iter = 1000, trace = 100)
topicterms <- terms(model, top_n = 5)
topicterms
```
### Visualisation of your model
- Can be done using the textplot package (https://github.com/bnosac/textplot), which can be found at CRAN as well (https://cran.r-project.org/package=textplot)
- An example visualisation built on a model of all R packages from the Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning task views is shown above (see also https://www.bnosac.be/index.php/blog/98-biterm-topic-modelling-for-short-texts)
```
library(textplot)
library(ggraph)
library(concaveman)
plot(model)
```
### Provide your own set of biterms
An interesting use case of this package is to
- cluster based on parts of speech tags like nouns and adjectives which can be found in the text in the neighbourhood of one another
- cluster dependency relationships provided by NLP tools like udpipe (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=udpipe)
This can be done by providing your own set of biterms to cluster upon.
**Example clustering cooccurrences of nouns/adjectives**
```
library(data.table)
library(udpipe)
## Annotate text with parts of speech tags
data("brussels_reviews", package = "udpipe")
anno <- subset(brussels_reviews, language %in% "nl")
anno <- data.frame(doc_id = anno$id, text = anno$feedback, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
anno <- udpipe(anno, "dutch", trace = 10)
## Get cooccurrences of nouns / adjectives and proper nouns
biterms <- as.data.table(anno)
biterms <- biterms[, cooccurrence(x = lemma,
relevant = upos %in% c("NOUN", "PROPN", "ADJ"),
skipgram = 2),
by = list(doc_id)]
## Build the model
set.seed(123456)
x <- subset(anno, upos %in% c("NOUN", "PROPN", "ADJ"))
x <- x[, c("doc_id", "lemma")]
model <- BTM(x, k = 5, beta = 0.01, iter = 2000, background = TRUE,
biterms = biterms, trace = 100)
topicterms <- terms(model, top_n = 5)
topicterms
```
**Example clustering dependency relationships**
```
library(udpipe)
library(tm)
library(data.table)
data("brussels_reviews", package = "udpipe")
exclude <- stopwords("nl")
## Do annotation on Dutch text
anno <- subset(brussels_reviews, language %in% "nl")
anno <- data.frame(doc_id = anno$id, text = anno$feedback, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
anno <- udpipe(anno, "dutch", trace = 10)
anno <- setDT(anno)
anno <- merge(anno, anno,
by.x = c("doc_id", "paragraph_id", "sentence_id", "head_token_id"),
by.y = c("doc_id", "paragraph_id", "sentence_id", "token_id"),
all.x = TRUE, all.y = FALSE, suffixes = c("", "_parent"), sort = FALSE)
## Specify a set of relationships you are interested in (e.g. objects of a verb)
anno$relevant <- anno$dep_rel %in% c("obj") & !is.na(anno$lemma_parent)
biterms <- subset(anno, relevant == TRUE)
biterms <- data.frame(doc_id = biterms$doc_id,
term1 = biterms$lemma,
term2 = biterms$lemma_parent,
cooc = 1,
stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
biterms <- subset(biterms, !term1 %in% exclude & !term2 %in% exclude)
## Put in x only terms whch were used in the biterms object such that frequency stats of terms can be computed in BTM
anno <- anno[, keep := relevant | (token_id %in% head_token_id[relevant == TRUE]), by = list(doc_id, paragraph_id, sentence_id)]
x <- subset(anno, keep == TRUE, select = c("doc_id", "lemma"))
x <- subset(x, !lemma %in% exclude)
## Build the topic model
model <- BTM(data = x,
biterms = biterms,
k = 6, iter = 2000, background = FALSE, trace = 100)
topicterms <- terms(model, top_n = 5)
topicterms
```
