Interactive

While topic models are complex, they don't have to be complicated! Our two-step install process and flexible workflow asks you what you want to do and guides you to the next step of exploration and interpretation.

Personal

InPhO-TE was designed for personal computing. Your data can stay on your own machine - Mac, Windows, or Linux - right under your fingertips.

Scalable

While designed for personal computing, InPhO-TE can easily deploy to the cloud for greater computing power for training and to serve the resulting models, like the ones on this site.
