Examples

rdb::infer_topics(topics = c("EU", "animal protection"),
                  tier = 1L)
#> [1] "foreign policy"               "environment and living space"
rdb::infer_topics(topics = c("EU", "animal protection"),
                  tier = 2L)
#> [1] "European policy" "environment"    

# topics of different tiers can mixed in `topics`
rdb::infer_topics(topics = c("EU", "environment"),
                  tier = 2L)
#> [1] "European policy" "environment"    

# but `topics` of a higher tier than `tier` will be ignored
rdb::infer_topics(topics = "foreign policy",
                  tier = 2L)
#> character(0)
