From STM to GPT: A Comparative Study of Topic Modeling Methods for AI in Dentistry

This study presents a comprehensive topic modeling analysis of scientific abstracts in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to dentistry. Three complementary approaches were compared: Structural Topic Modeling (STM); embedding-based clustering using the Leiden algorithm on OpenAI text embeddings; and zero-shot GPT-based topic modeling

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive topic modeling analysis of scientific abstracts in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to dentistry. Three complementary approaches were compared: Structural Topic Modeling (STM); embedding-based clustering using the Leiden algorithm on OpenAI text embeddings; and zero-shot GPT-based topic modeling
