Integration of Associative Tokens into Thematic Hyperspace: A Method for Determining Semantically Significant Clusters in Dynamic Text Streams

With the exponential growth of textual data, traditional topic modeling methods based on static analysis demonstrate limited effectiveness in tracking the dynamics of thematic content. This research aims to develop a method for quantifying the dynamics of topics within text corpora using a thematic signal (TS) function that accounts for temporal changes and semantic relationships. The proposed method combines associative tokens with original lexical units to reduce thematic entropy and information noise. Approaches employed include topic modeling (LDA), vector representations of texts (TF-IDF, Word2Vec), and time series analysis. The method was tested on a corpus of news texts (5000 documents). Results demonstrated robust identification of semantically meaningful thematic clusters. An inverse relationship was observed between the level of thematic significance and semantic diversity, confirming a reduction in entropy using the proposed method. This approach allows for quantifying topic dynamics, filtering noise, and determining the optimal number of clusters. Future applications include analyzing multilingual data and integration with neural network models. The method shows potential for monitoring information flows and predicting thematic trends.
