Conference poster, Bayesian Young Statisticians Meeting (BaYSM 2025), Chiba University (Chiba, Japan)

Poster presentation (Poster #1, Session 2) at the BaYSM - Bayesian Young Statisticians Meeting on two Monte Carlo simulation studies examining LDA and STM topic model performance under varying corpus conditions. Study I investigated LDA sensitivity in small corpora; Study II compared LDA and STM under temporally evolving topic prevalence, revealing a counterintuitive crossover in model performance favourable to LDA for longer documents.
