Text classification is the task of assigning a sentence or document an appropriate category. The categories depend on the selected dataset and can cover arbitrary subjects. Therefore, text classifiers can be used to organize, structure, and categorize any kind of text. Common approaches use supervised learning to classify texts. Especially BERT-based language models achieved very good text classification results in recent years.

In this post we will show how in just a few minutes the Prevision.io It is known that textual data is usually more tricker and harder to process than the linear or categorical features. In fact, the linear features sometimes need to be scaled. Categorical features are scalar straightly encoded, but transforming texts into machine readable format requires a lot of pre-processing and feature engineering. Moreover, there are many other challenges that have to be addressed: how to cover different languages? How is it possible to preserve the semantic relationship between the words' vocabulary?

Text classification is a machine learning technique that assigns a set of predefined categories to open-ended text. Text classifiers can be used to organize, structure, and categorize pretty much any kind of text -- from documents, medical studies and files, and all over the web. This Article will explain about text classification using TensorFlow library. Code below shows library that will used for this project. The data taken for this project is only "train.txt"

Existed pre-trained models have achieved state-of-the-art performance on various text classification tasks. These models have proven to be useful in learning universal language representations. However, the semantic discrepancy between similar texts cannot be effectively distinguished by advanced pre-trained models, which have a great influence on the performance of hard-to-distinguish classes. To address this problem, we propose a novel Contrastive Learning with Label Distance (CLLD) in this work. Inspired by recent advances in contrastive learning, we specifically design a classification method with label distance for learning contrastive classes. CLLD ensures the flexibility within the subtle differences that lead to different label assignments, and generates the distinct representations for each class having similarity simultaneously. Extensive experiments on public benchmarks and internal datasets demonstrate that our method improves the performance of pre-trained models on classification tasks. Importantly, our experiments suggest that the learned label distance relieve the adversarial nature of interclasses.

In this paper, we investigate mathematical content representations suitable for the automated classification of and the similarity search in STEM documents using standard machine learning algorithms: the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and the Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). The methods are evaluated on a subset of arXiv.org papers with the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) as a reference classification and using the standard precision/recall/F1-measure metrics. The results give insight into how different math representations may influence the performance of the classification and similarity search tasks in STEM repositories. Non-surprisingly, machine learning methods are able to grab distributional semantics from textual tokens. A proper selection of weighted tokens representing math may improve the quality of the results slightly. A structured math representation that imitates successful text-processing techniques with math is shown to yield better results than flat TeX tokens.

Text classification is a primary task in natural language processing (NLP). Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) have developed rapidly and been applied to text classification tasks. Although more complex models tend to achieve better performance, research highly depends on the computing power of the device used. In this article, we propose TENT (https://github.com/Daisean/TENT) to obtain better text classification performance and reduce the reliance on computing power. Specifically, we first establish a dependency analysis graph for each text and then convert each graph into its corresponding encoding tree. The representation of the entire graph is obtained by updating the representation of the non-leaf nodes in the encoding tree. Experimental results show that our method outperforms other baselines on several datasets while having a simple structure and few parameters.

Extreme multi-label text classification (XMC) seeks to find relevant labels from an extreme large label collection for a given text input. Many real-world applications can be formulated as XMC problems, such as recommendation systems, document tagging and semantic search. Recently, transformer based XMC methods, such as X-Transformer and LightXML, have shown significant improvement over other XMC methods. Despite leveraging pre-trained transformer models for text representation, the fine-tuning procedure of transformer models on large label space still has lengthy computational time even with powerful GPUs. In this paper, we propose a novel recursive approach, XR-Transformer to accelerate the procedure through recursively fine-tuning transformer models on a series of multi-resolution objectives related to the original XMC objective function. Empirical results show that XR-Transformer takes significantly less training time compared to other transformer-based XMC models while yielding better state-of-the-art results. In particular, on the public Amazon-3M dataset with 3 million labels, XR-Transformer is not only 20x faster than X-Transformer but also improves the Precision@1 from 51% to 54%.

BERT is a state-of-the-art model by Google that came in 2019. In this blog, I will go step by step to finetune the BERT model for movie reviews classification(i.e positive or negative). Here, I will be using the Pytorch framework for the coding perspective. BERT is built on top of the transformer (explained in paper Attention is all you Need). Input text sentences would first be tokenized into words, then the special tokens ( [CLS], [SEP], ##token) will be added to the sequence of words.
