Overview

An R-package for analyzing natural language implementing Differential Language Analysis using words, phrases and topics. Check out our tutorial paper: Multiple Methods for Visualizing Human Language: A Tutorial for Social and Behavioural Scientists. If you use the topics package, please cite this tutorial in your work. The topics package is part of the R Language Analysis Suite, including talk, text and topics.

• talk transforms voice recordings into text, audio features, or embeddings.
• text provides many language tasks such as converting digital text into word embeddings. talk and text offer access to Large Language Models from Hugging Face.
• topics visualizes language patterns into words, phrases or topics to generate psychological insights. The topics package supports the text package in analysing and visualizing topics from BERTtopics.
