Topic modeling is an unsupervised method for revealing the hidden semantic structure of a corpus. It has been increasingly widely adopted as a tool in the social sciences, including political science, digital humanities and sociological research in general. One desirable property of topic models is to allow users to find topics describing a specific aspect of the corpus. A possible solution is to incorporate domain-specific knowledge into topic modeling, but this requires a specification from domain experts. We propose a novel query-driven topic model that allows users to specify a simple query in words or phrases and return query-related topics, thus avoiding tedious work from domain experts.
