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.

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.

Text classification is a fundamental language task in Natural Language Processing. A variety of sequential models are capable of making good predictions, yet there is a lack of connection between language semantics and prediction results. This paper proposes a novel influence score (I-score), a greedy search algorithm, called Backward Dropping Algorithm (BDA), and a novel feature engineering technique called the “dagger technique”. First, the paper proposes to use the novel influence score (I-score) to detect and search for the important language semantics in text documents that are useful for making good predictions in text classification tasks. Next, a greedy search algorithm, called the Backward Dropping Algorithm, is proposed to handle long-term dependencies in the dataset. Moreover, the paper proposes a novel engineering technique called the “dagger technique” that fully preserves the relationship between the explanatory variable and the response variable. The proposed techniques can be further generalized into any feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and any neural network. A real-world application on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) is used and the proposed methods are applied to improve prediction performance with an 81% error reduction compared to other popular peers if I-score and “dagger technique” are not implemented.

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.

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.

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.

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.
