Topics

Overview

This is the full list of thirty topics generated from the corpus. For each, I have included: the automatic “label” for the topic (the top eight words); a plot showing the weights of the top ten words in the topic; and a plot showing the weight of the topic in each of the speeches from the corpus.

Some points to note in interpreting the plots:

Annotations

I have selected a handful of topics that are notable for one reason or another and written annotations on them (on separate pages, linked next and below each topic in the full list). While going through the full list of topics can be interesting, my analysis is primarily contained within these annotations and within my more focused discussion of results.

Here are the topics I annotated:
