KeyNMF enables seeded topic modeling where you specify focus areas using natural language prompts rather than manual keyword selection. LLM-generated document summaries can improve topic model accuracy for long texts by condensing content into key points that fit transformer context windows. Generative models automate topic labeling and description generation, replacing manual interpretation work. The article demonstrates these techniques on European Central Bank communications, showing how to extract economically meaningful topics from structured, repetitive text while maintaining transparency and computational efficiency.
