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.

Text classification is of importance in natural language processing, as the massive text information containing huge amounts of value needs to be classified into different categories for further use. In order to better classify text, our paper tries to build a deep learning model which achieves better classification results in Chinese text than those of other researchers’ models. After comparing different methods, long short-term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) methods were selected as deep learning methods to classify Chinese text. LSTM is a special kind of recurrent neural network (RNN), which is capable of processing serialized information through its recurrent structure. By contrast, CNN has shown its ability to extract features from visual imagery. Therefore, two layers of LSTM and one layer of CNN were integrated to our new model: the BLSTM-C model (BLSTM stands for bi-directional long short-term memory while C stands for CNN.) LSTM was responsible for obtaining a sequence output based on past and future contexts, which was then input to the convolutional layer for extracting features. In our experiments, the proposed BLSTM-C model was evaluated in several ways. In the results, the model exhibited remarkable performance in text classification, especially in Chinese texts.

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.

One of the popular directions in Deep Learning (DL) research has been to build larger and more complex deep networks that can perform well on several different learning tasks, commonly known as multitask learning. This work is usually done within specific domains, e.g. multitask models that perform captioning, translation, and text classification tasks. Some work has been done in building multimodal/crossmodal networks that use deep networks with a combination of different neural network primitives (Convolutional Layers, Recurrent Layers, Mixture of Expert layers, etc). This paper explores various topics and ideas that may prove relevant to large, sparse, multitask networks and explores the potential for a general approach to building and managing these networks. A framework to automatically build, update, and interpret modular LSMNs is presented in the context of current tooling and theory.

Classifying or categorizing texts is the process by which documents are classified into groups by subject, title, author, etc. This paper undertakes a systematic review of the latest research in the field of the classification of Arabic texts. Several machine learning techniques can be used for text classification, but we have focused only on the recent trend of neural network algorithms. In this paper, the concept of classifying texts and classification processes are reviewed. Deep learning techniques in classification and its type are discussed in this paper as well. Neural networks of various types, namely, RNN, CNN, FFNN, and LSTM, are identified as the subject of study. Through systematic study, 12 research papers related to the field of the classification of Arabic texts using neural networks are obtained: for each paper the methodology for each type of neural network and the accuracy ration for each type is determined. The evaluation criteria used in the algorithms of different neural network types and how they play a large role in the highly accurate classification of Arabic texts are discussed. Our results provide some findings regarding how deep learning models can be used to improve text classification research in Arabic language.

Capturing semantics scattered across entire text is one of the important issues for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. It would be particularly critical with long text embodying a flow of themes. This article proposes a new text modelling method that can handle thematic flows of text with Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in such a way that discourse information and distributed representations of text are incorporate. Unlike previous DNN-based document models, the proposed model enables discourse-aware analysis of text and composition of sentence-level distributed representations guided by the discourse structure. More specifically, our method identifies Elementary Discourse Units (EDUs) and their discourse relations in a given document by applying Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST)-based discourse analysis. The result is fed into a tree-structured neural network that reflects the discourse information including the structure of the document and the discourse roles and relation types. We evaluate the document model for two document-level text classification tasks, sentiment analysis and sarcasm detection, with comparisons against the reference systems that also utilise discourse information. In addition, we conduct additional experiments to evaluate the impact of neural network types and adopted discourse factors on modelling documents vis-à-vis the two classification tasks. Furthermore, we investigate the effects of various learning methods, input units on the quality of the proposed discourse-aware document model.

As a foundation and typical task in natural language processing, text classification has been widely applied in many fields. However, as the basis of text classification, most existing corpus are imbalanced and often result in the classifier tending its performance to those categories with more texts. In this paper, we propose a background knowledge based multi-stream neural network to make up for the imbalance or insufficient information caused by the limitations of training corpus. The multi-stream network mainly consists of the basal stream, which retained original sequence information, and background knowledge based streams. Background knowledge is composed of keywords and co-occurred words which are extracted from external corpus. Background knowledge based streams are devoted to realizing supplemental information and reinforce basal stream. To better fuse the features extracted from different streams, early-fusion and two after-fusion strategies are employed. According to the results obtained from both Chinese corpus and English corpus, it is demonstrated that the proposed background knowledge based multi-stream neural network performs well in classification tasks.

Over the past few decades, text classification problems have been widely utilized in many real time applications. Leveraging the text classification methods by means of developing new applications in the field of text mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP) is very important. In order to accurately classify tasks in many applications, a deeper insight into deep learning methods is required as there is an exponential growth in the number of complex documents. The success of any deep learning algorithm depends on its capacity to understand the nonlinear relationships of the complex models within data. Thus, a huge challenge for researchers lies in the development of suitable techniques, architectures, and models for text classification. In this paper, hybrid deep learning models, with an emphasis on positioning of attention mechanism analysis, are considered and analyzed well for text classification. The first hybrid model proposed is called convolutional Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) with attention mechanism and output (CBAO) model, and the second hybrid model is called convolutional attention mechanism with Bi-LSTM and output (CABO) model. In the first hybrid model, the attention mechanism is placed after the Bi-LSTM, and then the output Softmax layer is constructed. In the second hybrid model, the attention mechanism is placed after convolutional layer and followed by Bi-LSTM and the output Softmax layer. The proposed hybrid models are tested on three datasets, and the results show that when the proposed CBAO model is implemented for IMDB dataset, a high classification accuracy of 92.72% is obtained and when the proposed CABO model is implemented on the same dataset, a high classification accuracy of 90.51% is obtained.
