用语义模型自动分析虚拟头脑风暴,提升创意洞察效率。
Semantic-Driven Topic Modeling for Analyzing Creativity in Virtual Brainstorming
- 结合Sentence-BERT与聚类算法,从对话中提取主题
- 主题连贯性得分0.687,显著优于LDA等基线方法
- 适合研究团队创意多样性与深度,支持实时协作分析
虚拟头脑风暴已成为协作解决问题的核心环节,但想法数量庞大且分布不均,难以高效提取有价值见解。人工编码耗时且主观性强,亟需自动化方法辅助评估群体创造力。本文提出一种语义驱动的主题建模框架,包含四个模块:基于Transformer的嵌入(Sentence-BERT)、降维(UMAP)、聚类(HDBSCAN)及主题提取与优化。该框架在句子层面捕捉语义相似性,可从头脑风暴转录文本中发现连贯主题,同时过滤噪声并识别异常值。我们在结构化Zoom会议数据上进行评估,参与者为需改进大学的学生小组。结果表明,本模型在主题连贯性上优于传统方法LDA、ETM和BERTopic,平均连贯性得分为0.687(CV),显著超越基线。此外,模型能提供对主题深度与多样性的可解释洞察,支持收敛与发散式创造力分析。本研究展示了基于嵌入的主题建模在协同创意分析中的潜力,并贡献了一个高效可扩展的框架,用于研究同步虚拟会议中的创造力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Virtual brainstorming sessions have become a central component of collaborative problem solving, yet the large volume and uneven distribution of ideas often make it difficult to extract valuable insights efficiently. Manual coding of ideas is time-consuming and subjective, underscoring the need for automated approaches to support the evaluation of group creativity. In this study, we propose a semantic-driven topic modeling framework that integrates four modular components: transformer-based embeddings (Sentence-BERT), dimensionality reduction (UMAP), clustering (HDBSCAN), and topic extraction with refinement. The framework captures semantic similarity at the sentence level, enabling the discovery of coherent themes from brainstorming transcripts while filtering noise and identifying outliers. We evaluate our approach on structured Zoom brainstorming sessions involving student groups tasked with improving their university. Results demonstrate that our model achieves higher topic coherence compared to established methods such as LDA, ETM, and BERTopic, with an average coherence score of 0.687 (CV), outperforming baselines by a significant margin. Beyond improved performance, the model provides interpretable insights into the depth and diversity of topics explored, supporting both convergent and divergent dimensions of group creativity. This work highlights the potential of embedding-based topic modeling for analyzing collaborative ideation and contributes an efficient and scalable framework for studying creativity in synchronous virtual meetings.
