q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Unsupervised LDA topic modeling (topicmodels package in R) on the preprocessed corpus of 40 policy documents, with a 4-topic solution selected based on topic coherence and interpretability; the model "discovered 4 coherent clusters of terms."

"LDA discovered 4 coherent clusters of terms across the AI policy documents."
