Text representation is one of the key tasks in the field of natural language processing (NLP). Traditional feature extraction and weighting methods often use the bag-of-words (BoW) model, which may lead to a lack of semantic information as well as the problems of high dimensionality and high sparsity. At present, to solve these problems, a popular idea is to utilize deep learning methods. In this paper, feature weighting, word embedding, and topic models are combined to propose an unsupervised text representation method named the feature, probability, and word embedding method. The main idea is to use the word embedding technology Word2Vec to obtain the word vector, and then combine this with the feature weighted TF-IDF and the topic model LDA. Compared with traditional feature engineering, the proposed method not only increases the expressive ability of the vector space model, but also reduces the dimensions of the document vector. Besides this, it can be used to solve the problems of the insufficient information, high dimensions, and high sparsity of BoW. We use the proposed method for the task of text categorization and verify the validity of the method.

Harmful information identification is a critical research topic in natural language processing. Existing approaches have been focused either on rule-based methods or harmful text identification of normal documents. In this paper, we propose a BERT-based model to identify harmful information from social media, called Topic-BERT. Firstly, Topic-BERT utilizes BERT to take additional information as input to alleviate the sparseness of short texts. The GPU-DMM topic model is used to capture hidden topics of short texts for attention weight calculation. Secondly, the proposed model divides harmful short text identification into two stages, and different granularity labels are identified by two similar sub-models. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on a real-world social media dataset to evaluate our model. Experimental results demonstrate that our model can significantly improve the classification performance compared with baseline methods.

Short text classification is an important foundation for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Though, the text classification based on deep language models (DLMs) has made a significant headway, in practical applications however, some texts are ambiguous and hard to classify in multi-class classification especially, for short texts whose context length is limited. The mainstream method improves the distinction of ambiguous text by adding context information. However, these methods rely only the text representation, and ignore that the categories overlap and are not completely independent of each other. In this paper, we establish a new general method to solve the problem of ambiguous text classification by introducing label embedding to represent each category, which makes measurable difference between the categories. Further, a new compositional loss function is proposed to train the model, which makes the text representation closer to the ground-truth label and farther away from others. Finally, a constraint is obtained by calculating the similarity between the text representation and label embedding. Errors caused by ambiguous text can be corrected by adding constraints to the output layer of the model. We apply the method to three classical models and conduct experiments on six public datasets. Experiments show that our method can effectively improve the classification accuracy of the ambiguous texts. In addition, combining our method with BERT, we obtain the state-of-the-art results on the CNT dataset.

The aim of topic detection is to automatically identify the events and hot topics in social networks and continuously track known topics. Applying the traditional methods such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis is difficult given the high dimensionality of massive event texts and the short-text sparsity problems of social networks. The problem also exists of unclear topics caused by the sparse distribution of topics. To solve the above challenge, we propose a novel word embedding topic model by combining the topic model and the continuous bag-of-words mode (Cbow) method in word embedding method, named Cbow Topic Model (CTM), for topic detection and summary in social networks. We conduct similar word clustering of the target social network text dataset by introducing the classic Cbow word vectorization method, which can effectively learn the internal relationship between words and reduce the dimensionality of the input texts. We employ the topic model-to-model short text for effectively weakening the sparsity problem of social network texts. To detect and summarize the topic, we propose a topic detection method by leveraging similarity computing for social networks. We collected a Sina microblog dataset to conduct various experiments. The experimental results demonstrate that the CTM method is superior to the existing topic model method.


Sentiment Classification is one of the well-known and most popular domain of machine learning and natural language processing. An algorithm is developed to understand the opinion of an entity similar to human beings. This research fining article presents a similar to the mention above. Concept of natural language processing is considered for text representation. Later novel word embedding model is proposed for effective classification of the data. Tf-IDF and Common BoW representation models were considered for representation of text data. Importance of these models are discussed in the respective sections.

As a core task of natural language processing and information retrieval, automatic text summarization is widely applied in many fields. There are two existing methods for text summarization task at present: abstractive and extractive. On this basis we propose a novel hybrid model of extractive-abstractive to combine BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) word embedding with reinforcement learning. Firstly, we convert the human-written abstractive summaries to the ground truth labels. Secondly, we use BERT word embedding as text representation and pre-train two sub-models respectively. Finally, the extraction network and the abstraction network are bridged by reinforcement learning. To verify the performance of the model, we compare it with the current popular automatic text summary model on the CNN/Daily Mail dataset, and use the ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) metrics as the evaluation method. Extensive experimental results show that the accuracy of the model is improved obviously.

Learning text representation is forming a core for numerous natural language processing applications. Word embedding is a type of text representation that allows words with similar meaning to have similar representation. Word embedding techniques categorize semantic similarities between linguistic items based on their distributional properties in large samples of text data. Although these techniques are very efficient, handling semantic and pragmatics ambiguity with high accuracy is still a challenging research task. In this article, we propose a new feature as a semantic score which handles ambiguities between words. We use external knowledge bases and the Huffman Coding algorithm to compute this score that depicts the semantic relatedness between all fragments composing a given text. We combine this feature with word embedding methods to improve text representation. We evaluate our method on a hashtag recommendation system in Twitter where text is noisy and short. The experimental results demonstrate that, compared with state-of-the-art algorithms, our method achieves good results.

QA matching is a very important task in natural language processing, but current research on text matching focuses more on short text matching rather than long text matching. Compared with short text matching, long text matching is rich in information, but distracting information is frequent. This paper extracted question-and-answer pairs about psychological counseling to research long text QA-matching technology based on deep learning. We adjusted DSSM (Deep Structured Semantic Model) to make it suitable for the QA-matching task. Moreover, for better extraction of long text features, we also improved DSSM by enriching the text representation layer, using a bidirectional neural network and attention mechanism. The experimental results show that BiGRU–Dattention–DSSM performs better at matching questions and answers.

As an important branch of Nature Language Processing (NLP), how to extract useful text information and effective long-range associations has always been a bottleneck for text classification. With the great effort of deep learning researchers, deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have made remarkable achievements in Computer Vision but still controversial in NLP tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel deep CNN named Deep Pyramid Temporal Convolutional Network (DPTCN) for short text classification, which is mainly consisting of concatenated embedding layer, causal convolution, 1/2 max pooling down-sampling and residual blocks. It is worth mentioning that our work was highly inspired by two well-designed models: one is temporal convolutional network for sequential modeling; another is deep pyramid CNN for text categorization; as their applicability and pertinence remind us how to build a model in a special domain. In the experiments, we evaluate the proposed model on 7 datasets with 6 models and analyze the impact of three different embedding methods. The results prove that our work is a good attempt to apply word-level deep convolutional network in short text classification.

Sentiment analysis (SA) detects people’s opinions from text engaging natural language processing (NLP) techniques. Recent research has shown that deep learning models, i.e., Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Transformer-based provide promising results for recognizing sentiment. Nonetheless, CNN has the advantage of extracting high-level features by using convolutional and max-pooling layers; it cannot efficiently learn a sequence of correlations. At the same time, Bidirectional RNN uses two RNN directions to improve extracting long-term dependencies. However, it cannot extract local features in parallel, and Transformer-based like Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) are the computational resources needed to fine-tune, facing an overfitting problem on small datasets. This paper proposes a novel attention-based model that utilizes CNNs with LSTM (named ACL-SA). First, it applies a preprocessor to enhance the data quality and employ term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) feature weighting and pre-trained Glove word embedding approaches to extract meaningful information from textual data. In addition, it utilizes CNN’s max-pooling to extract contextual features and reduce feature dimensionality. Moreover, it uses an integrated bidirectional LSTM to capture long-term dependencies. Furthermore, it applies the attention mechanism at the CNN’s output layer to emphasize each word’s attention level. To avoid overfitting, the Guasiannoise and GuasianDroupout are adopted as regularization. The model’s robustness is evaluated on four English standard datasets, i.e., Sentiment140, US-airline, Sentiment140-MV, SA4A with various performance matrices, and compared efficiency with existing baseline models and approaches. The experiment results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art models.
