Agentic Topic Modeling with Maarten Grootendorst - Weaviate Podcast #126!
Manage episode 493515588 series 3524543
Maarten Grootendorst is a psychologist turned AI engineer who has created BERTopic and authored "Hands-On Large Language Models" with Jay Alammar. The rise of LLMs and Agents are transforming many areas of software! This podcast dives deep into their impact on Topic Modeling! Maarten designed BERTopic from the start with modularity in mind -- letting you ablate embedding models, dimensionality reduction, clustering algorithms, and more. This early insight to prioritize modularity makes BERTopic incredibly well structured to become more "Agentic". An "Agentic" Topic Modeling algorithm can use LLMs to generate topics or topic descriptions, as well as contrast them with other topics. It can decide which topics to subdivide, and it can integrate human feedback and evaluate topics in novel ways... I hope you find the podcast interesting!
