`select_topics()` is the former name of [compare_topics()]. It never selected a count, it compared them, so it was renamed in sbert 0.5.4. This alias forwards every argument and warns once per session.
Examples
text <- c(
"Cats chase mice", "Dogs chase balls", "Kittens nap in sunshine",
"Stocks and bonds trade", "Markets price shares", "Banks report profit"
)
embeddings <- rbind(
c(1, 0), c(0.95, 0.05), c(0.9, 0.1),
c(0, 1), c(0.05, 0.95), c(0.1, 0.9)
)
# Deprecated: prefer compare_topics(). This warns once, then forwards.
suppressWarnings(select_topics(text, n_topics = 2:3, embeddings = embeddings))
