I started with a pandas DataFrame containing the text of every review in a column named 'text’, which can be extracted to a list of list of strings, where each list represents a review.
I’ll show how I got to the requisite representation using gensim functions. Conveniently, gensim also provides convenience utilities to convert NumPy dense matrices or scipy sparse matrices into the required form. Gensim’s LDA implementation needs reviews as a sparse vector. I used the truly wonderful gensim library to create bi-gram representations of the reviews and to run LDA.

If you’d rather just get the highlights/takeaways, I point out all the key bits in the rest of this blog post below with code snippets. This will allow you to follow along with the notebooks in the repo directly, namely, here and then here. However, I realize that might be a lot of work, so I also included pickle files of my Train and Test DataFrames in the directory here. I’ve also included a preprocessing script which will allow you to create the exact training and test DataFrames I use below.

UPDATE (9/23/19): I’ve added a README to the Repo which shows how to create a MongoDB using the source data. If the supervised F1-scores on the unseen data generalizes, then we can posit that the 2016 topic model has identified latent semantic structure that persists over time in this restaurant review domain. Run supervised classification models again on the 2017 vectors and see if this generalizes.Use the same 2016 LDA model to get topic distributions from 2017 ( the LDA model did not see this data!).Use Topic Distributions directly as feature vectors in supervised classification models (Logistic Regression, SVC, etc) and get F1-score.Grab Topic distributions for every review using the LDA Model.Train LDA Model on 100,000 Restaurant Reviews from 2016.With that intro out of the way, here was my goal: The idea here is to test whether the distribution per review of hidden semantic information could predict positive and negative sentiment. That output is just a vector for every review showing the distribution. In other words, some documents might be 100% Topic 1, others might be 33%/33%/33% of Topic 1/2/3, etc. After training, I could then take all 100,000 reviews and see the distribution of topics for every review. Assume for a minute that I had only trained a LDA model to find 3 topics as above. I was more interested to see if this hidden semantic structure (generated unsupervised) could be converted to be used in a supervised classification problem. Converting Unsupervised Output to a Supervised Problem The third topic isn’t as clear-cut, but generally seems to touch on terrible, dry salty food. You can see the first topic group seems to have identified word co-occurrences for negative burger reviews, and the second topic group seems to have identified positive Italian restaurant experiences.
Here are two examples of topics discovered via LDA: In my case, I took 100,000 reviews from Yelp Restaurants in 2016 using the Yelp dataset.
Once LDA topic modeling is applied to set of documents, you‘re able to see the words that make up each hidden topic. Formally, this is Bayesian Inference problem. These ‘hidden’ topics are then surfaced based on the likelihood of word co-occurrence. A topic has a probability of generating various words, where the words are all the observed words in the corpus. LDA states that each document in a corpus is a combination of a fixed number of topics. This post specifically focuses on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), which was a technique proposed in 2000 for population genetics and re-discovered independently by ML-hero Andrew Ng et al. They are probabilistic models that can help you comb through massive amounts of raw text and cluster similar groups of documents together in an unsupervised way. Topic Modeling in NLP seeks to find hidden semantic structure in documents. Predicting Future Yelp Review Sentiment Topic Modeling Overview
