New topic model assigns themes to text segments, not whole documents

This method aims to resolve the issue of topic contamination in documents covering multiple themes, leading to cleaner and more interpretable topics. The work includes the creation of a new dataset, SemEval-STM, and an evaluation framework to demonstrate SBTA's effectiveness in improving clustering quality and interpretability for fine-grained topic analysis.
