TopicGPT: A Prompt-based AI Framework that Uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to Uncover Latent Topics in a Text Collection

TopicGPT is a new AI framework that leverages large language models to generate and refine latent topics in text collections, addressing limitations of traditional methods like LDA. It uses prompt-based topic generation and assignment, offering higher-quality and more interpretable topics. Evaluations on Wikipedia articles and Congressional bills show that TopicGPT achieves better alignment with human annotations, making it a valuable tool for content analysis.
