History

The relationship between Switzerland the Thai royal house go back to the time before the Second World War, when the princess and her family lived in Lausanne.

It is named in honour of the Princess Srinagarindra, the mother of King Rama IX, who gave her personal permission for the temple to be named after her. It was dedicated in 2003 by Princess Galyani Vadhana, the daughter of the Princess Mother and sister of the king.[1] The royal family provided financial support for the construction of the temple.

The temple serves the spiritual needs of the local Thai, Khmer, Lao and Swiss Buddhist community and also has a centre of learning.

The first step is to create a joint embedding of document and word vectors. Once documents and words are embedded in a vector space the goal of the algorithm is to find dense clusters of documents, then identify which words attracted those documents together. Each dense area is a topic and the words that attracted the documents to the dense area are the topic words.
