Automated Topic Analysis of the Voynich Manuscript
#16
Intersting!

But it seems that, with all methods, the "topics" are based on the words that are most common overall, which, not coincidentally, are those with least information.  The really interesting topics would be about the conditions that the plants are supposed to treat.

And another unfortunate thing is that the plants in the herbal section are arranged alphabetically, rather than by similarity of purpose.  Thus any topic will be uniformly scattered through the whole herbal section, rather than lumped in interesting ways...
