This sparsity can substantially impair semantic capture accuracy. We propose a novel approach that incorporates pre-clustered knowledge into the BERTopic model while reducing the l2 norm for low-frequency words. Our method effectively mitigates feature sparsity during cluster mapping. Empirical evaluation on the StackOverflow dataset demonstrates that our approach outperforms baseline models, achieving superior Macro-F1 scores. These results validate the effectiveness of our proposed feature sparsity reduction technique for short-text topic modeling.展开更多
