ANALYZE THE THEORETICAL BASIS FOR TOPIC MAPPING IN ORDER TO VALIDATE AND OPTIMIZ

美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）内的国家神经疾病和中风研究所（NINDS）最近资助了一个研究分类工具，该工具使用主题建模来执行NIH赠款的基于文本的分类，以及一个大规模的图形算法，以在空间上组织成最适合的类别的地图上显示这些数据。公众可在http://www.nihmaps.org/上获得这一互动工具。 由于这种分析的独特性，研究所寻求利用Topicseek LLC的服务，以进一步说明其理论基础，并为这种方法制定验证和评价方法。该公司非常适合这项工作，因为它的专业知识，因为它非常熟悉这种方法的方法和局限性，因为该公司已经启动了对该项目成功至关重要的分析。

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), an Institute within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), recently funded a research categorization tool that uses Topic Modeling to perform text-based categorization of NIH grants, and a large scale graphing algorithm to display these them on a map organized spatially into their best-fit categories. This interactive tool is available to the public at http://www.nihmaps.org/. Because of the unique nature of this analysis, the Institute seeks to employ the services of Topicseek LLC to further characterize its theoretical underpinnings and to develop validation and evaluation approaches for this method. The company is uniquely suited to this work because of its expertise because of its intimate familiarity with the methods and limitations of this approach, and because the company has already initiated analyses that are of great importance to the success of this project.
