With this script it is possible to define the topics discussed in a document or corpus starting from a list of key-concepts (single or multi-tokens). The script takes as input one or more lists of key-concepts, and returns them organized into clusters of related items that can represent topics.
The code for the clustering can be found at: https://github.com/dhfbk/keyphrase_clustering
The script is tested on a corpus of U.S. political manifestos, available, along with its annotations, here (the data is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License).
