The Keyword Generator, created in collaboration with KB Researcher-in-residence Pim Huijnen, is a command-line tool that offers two methods to extract relevant keywords from a collection of sample texts provided by the user:

1. keywords_tfidf.py, extracting keywords based on tf-idf scores. Options:

• -k : number of keywords to be generated (default 10)
• -d : document length (the documents provided by the user will be split into parts containing the specified number of words; by default the documents will not be split.)

2. keywords_lda.py, extracting keywords based on either Gensim's or Mallet's implementation of LDA topic modeling. Options:

• -t : number of topics (default 10)
• -w : number of words per topic (default 10)
• -k : number of keywords (default 10)
• -d : document length (the documents provided by the user will be split into parts containing the specified number of words; by default the documents will not be split.)
• m : mallet path (full path to the Mallet executable; if not provided, Gensim's LDA implementation will be used to generate topics.)

Documents are to be placed in the data/documents folder, stop word lists in the data/stop_words folder. The keyword lists and any topics and topic distributions generated will be saved in the data/results folder.

The Keyword Generator currently uses Python 2.7, and Gensim and Mallet need to be installed locally.

Some examples of commands:

$ ./keywords_tfidf.py
$ ./keywords_tfidf.py -k 20 -d 100
$ ./keywords_lda.py -k 10 -d 100 -t 5 -w 20
$ ./keywords_lda.py -k 10 -d 100 -t 5 -w 20 -m /opt/mallet-2.0.7/bin/mallet
