One of the most frequently asked questions is how to use a dfm for topic models. We cover topic models in one section, but I think we should also show how to convert the dfm object to a stm topic model and how to run a basic operation.

I am a topic model skeptic, who do not believe that we can conduct solid social science research using (unsupervised) topic models, so not willing to extend the topic model page much. I usually cover those special topics in slides like https://cdn.rawgit.com/koheiw/workshop-PolText2018/master/slides.html
