Text classification is one of the fundamental tasks in natural language processing. Recently, deep neural networks have achieved promising performance in the text classification task compared to shallow models. Despite of the significance of deep models, they ignore the fine-grained (matching signals between words and classes) classification clues since their classifications mainly rely on the text-level representations. To address this problem, we introduce the interaction mechanism to incorporate word-level matching signals into the text classification task. In particular, we design a novel framework, EXplicit interAction Model (dubbed as EXAM), equipped with the interaction mechanism. We justified the proposed approach on several benchmark datasets including both multilabel and multi-class text classification tasks. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method. As a byproduct, we have released the codes and parameter settings to facilitate other researches.

Deep neural networks are becoming ubiquitous in text mining and natural language processing, but semantic resources, such as taxonomies and ontologies, are yet to be fully exploited in a deep learning setting. This paper presents an efficient semantic text mining approach, which converts semantic information related to a given set of documents into a set of novel features that are used for learning. The proposed Semantics-aware Recurrent deep Neural Architecture (SRNA) enables the system to learn simultaneously from the semantic vectors and from the raw text documents. We test the effectiveness of the approach on three text classification tasks: news topic categorization, sentiment analysis and gender profiling. The experiments show that the proposed approach outperforms the approach without semantic knowledge, with highest accuracy gain (up to 10%) achieved on short document fragments.

We aim to highlight an interesting trend to contribute to the ongoing debate around advances within legal Natural Language Processing. Recently, the focus for most legal text classification tasks has shifted towards large pre-trained deep learning models such as BERT. In this paper, we show that a more traditional approach based on Support Vector Machine classifiers reaches competitive performance with deep learning models. We also highlight that error reduction obtained by using specialised BERT-based models over baselines is noticeably smaller in the legal domain when compared to general language tasks. We discuss some hypotheses for these results to support future discussions.

<p>Text classification is a fundamental task in several areas of natural language processing (NLP), including words semantic classification, sentiment analysis, question answering, or dialog management. This paper investigates three basic architectures of deep learning models for the tasks of text classification: Deep Belief Neural (DBN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), these three main types of deep learning architectures, are largely explored to handled various classification tasks. DBN have excellent learning capabilities to extracts highly distinguishable features and good for general purpose. CNN have supposed to be better at extracting the position of various related features while RNN is modeling in sequential of long-term dependencies. This paper work shows the systematic comparison of DBN, CNN, and RNN on text classification tasks. Finally, we show the results of deep models by research experiment. The aim of this paper to provides basic guidance about the deep learning models that which models are best for the task of text classification.</p>

Abstract Recently, Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN) is widely used in text classification tasks, and has effectively completed tasks that are considered to have a rich relational structure. However, due to the sparse adjacency matrix constructed by GCN, GCN cannot make full use of context-dependent information in text classification, and cannot capture local information. The Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) has been shown to have the ability to capture the contextual information in a sentence or document, but its ability to capture global information about the vocabulary of a language is relatively limited. The latter is the advantage of GCN. Therefore, in this paper, Mutual Graph Convolution Networks (MGCN) is proposed to solve the above problems. It introduces semantic dictionary (WordNet), dependency and BERT. MGCN uses dependency to solve the problem of context dependence and WordNet to obtain more semantic information. Then the local information generated by BERT and the global information generated by GCN are interacted through the attention mechanism, so that they can influence each other and improve the classification effect of the model. The experimental results show that our model is more effective than previous research reports on three text classification data sets.

Distributed representation plays an important role in deep learning based natural language processing. However, the representation of a sentence often varies in different tasks, which is usually learned from scratch and suffers from the limited amounts of training data. In this paper, we claim that a good sentence representation should be invariant and can benefit the various subsequent tasks. To achieve this purpose, we propose a new scheme of information sharing for multi-task learning. More specifically, all tasks share the same sentence representation and each task can select the task-specific information from the shared sentence representation with attention mechanisms. The query vector of each task's attention could be either static parameters or generated dynamically. We conduct extensive experiments on 16 different text classification tasks, which demonstrate the benefits of our architecture. Source codes of this paper are available on Github.
