Hi everyone! Just a basic question: what means the order of the topics we get from Topic Extractor Parallel LDA? I.e. ... why is topic_0 "0", topic_1 "1", and so on?

Thank you.

Hi,

to be honest I don't know if the order of the topics actually has a meaning. Underneath the Mallet lib is used for topic modeling: http://mallet.cs.umass.edu/topics.php.
