Text Classification: A Perspective of Deep Learning Methods (2309.13761v1)

Abstract: In recent years, with the rapid development of information on the Internet, the number of complex texts and documents has increased exponentially, which requires a deeper understanding of deep learning methods in order to accurately classify texts using deep learning techniques, and thus deep learning methods have become increasingly important in text classification. Text classification is a class of tasks that automatically classifies a set of documents into multiple predefined categories based on their content and subject matter. Thus, the main goal of text classification is to enable users to extract information from textual resources and process processes such as retrieval, classification, and machine learning techniques together in order to classify different categories. Many new techniques of deep learning have already achieved excellent results in natural language processing. The success of these learning algorithms relies on their ability to understand complex models and non-linear relationships in data. However, finding the right structure, architecture, and techniques for text classification is a challenge for researchers. This paper introduces deep learning-based text classification algorithms, including important steps required for text classification tasks such as feature extraction, feature reduction, and evaluation strategies and methods. At the end of the article, different deep learning text classification methods are compared and summarized.
