Sentence embeddings are frequently generated by using complex, pretrained models that were trained on a very general corpus of data. This thesis explores a potential alternative method for generating high-quality sentence embeddings for highly specialized corpora in an efficient manner. A framework for visualizing and analyzing sentence embeddings is developed to help assess the quality of sentence embeddings for a highly specialized corpus of documents related to the 2019 coronavirus epidemic. A Topological Data Analysis (TDA) technique is explored as an alternative method for grouping embeddings for document clustering and topic modeling tasks and is compared to a simple clustering …
