== Practical Session ==

In this session we will use [[http://radimrehurek.com/gensim/|Gensim]] to model latent topics of various texts. We will focus on Latent Semantic Analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation models.

Students will also be required to generate some results of their work and hand them in to prove completing the tasks.
