Title-Based Topic Modeling on E-learning Web Content Titles Using BERTopic Model
摘要
In today’s information-rich digital age, the volume of web content available to users has become overwhelming, making it challenging for individuals to find relevant and personalized content. Recommendation systems have emerged as a transformative solution, catering to individual users by offering customized suggestions aligned with their unique interests. This research explores a novel approach that utilizes topic modeling techniques on web content titles for recommendation purposes. Topic modeling, a subfield of natural language processing (NLP) is utilized to automatically identify latent topics within a large corpus of text. The proposed work begins by collecting a diverse dataset of web content titles across the domains. It employs a combination of other state-of-the-art topic modeling algorithms like BERTopic modeling and statistical model to uncover the underlying topics in the titles. By leveraging this approach on web content titles, aim to extract meaningful themes and categorize the content efficiently. Then preprocess the data to remove irrelevant information, ensuring that the subsequent topic modeling process yields accurate and meaningful results. This approach not only expedites the recommendation process but also conserves computational resource. Once the topics are identified, associate them with appropriate metadata, such as user preferences, and content types. This step forms the foundation of our content-based recommendation approach. Then maps the user’s interests to the most relevant topics, enabling us to present a tailored list of web content titles. By recommending content based on underlying themes rather than just keywords, this approach surpasses traditional methods, ensuring more accurate and diverse suggestions for users. The results demonstrate the system’s ability to provide highly personalized recommendations, enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. By delving into the semantic structure of content rather than relying solely on metadata, offers a dynamic and effective solution to tackle information overload and deliver truly personalized web content recommendations that are tailored to the users’ interest.
