contents While topic modeling in English has become a prevalent and well-explored area, venturing into topic modeling for Indic languages remains relatively rare. The limited availability of resources, diverse linguistic structures, and unique challenges posed by Indic languages contribute to the scarcity of research and applications in this domain. Despite the growing interest in natural language processing and machine learning, there exists a noticeable gap in the comprehensive exploration of topic modeling methodologies tailored specifically for languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, and others. In this paper, we examine several topic modeling approaches applied to the Marathi language. Specifically, we compare various BERT and non-BERT approaches, including multilingual and monolingual BERT models, using topic coherence and topic diversity as evaluation metrics. Our analysis provides insights into the performance of these approaches for Marathi language topic modeling. The key finding of the paper is that BERTopic, when combined with BERT models trained on Indic languages, outperforms LDA in terms of topic modeling performance.
