Leveraging Uncertainty for Depth-Aware Hierarchical Text Classification

Hierarchical Text Classification(HTC)aims to match text to hierarchical labels.Existing methods overlook two critical issues:first,some texts cannot be fully matched to leaf node labels and need to be classified to the correct parent node instead of treating leaf nodes as the final classification target.Second,error propagation occurs when a misclassification at a parent node propagates down the hierarchy,ultimately leading to inaccurate predictions at the leaf nodes.To address these limitations,we propose an uncertainty-guided HTC depth-aware model called DepthMatch.Specifically,we design an early stopping strategy with uncertainty to identify incomplete matching between text and labels,classifying them into the corresponding parent node labels.This approach allows us to dynamically determine the classification depth by leveraging evidence to quantify and accumulate uncertainty.Experimental results show that the proposed DepthMatch outperforms recent strong baselines on four commonly used public datasets:WOS(Web of Science),RCV1-V2(Reuters Corpus Volume I),AAPD(Arxiv Academic Paper Dataset),and BGC.Notably,on the BGC dataset,it improvesMicro-F1 andMacro-F1 scores by at least 1.09%and 1.74%,respectively.

Ensemble Filter-Wrapper Text Feature Selection Methods for Text Classification

Feature selection is a crucial technique in text classification for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of classifiers or machine learning techniques by reducing the dataset’s dimensionality.This involves eliminating irrelevant,redundant,and noisy features to streamline the classification process.Various methods,from single feature selection techniques to ensemble filter-wrapper methods,have been used in the literature.Metaheuristic algorithms have become popular due to their ability to handle optimization complexity and the continuous influx of text documents.Feature selection is inherently multi-objective,balancing the enhancement of feature relevance,accuracy,and the reduction of redundant features.This research presents a two-fold objective for feature selection.The first objective is to identify the top-ranked features using an ensemble of three multi-univariate filter methods:Information Gain(Infogain),Chi-Square(Chi^(2)),and Analysis of Variance(ANOVA).This aims to maximize feature relevance while minimizing redundancy.The second objective involves reducing the number of selected features and increasing accuracy through a hybrid approach combining Artificial Bee Colony(ABC)and Genetic Algorithms(GA).This hybrid method operates in a wrapper framework to identify the most informative subset of text features.Support Vector Machine(SVM)was employed as the performance evaluator for the proposed model,tested on two high-dimensional multiclass datasets.The experimental results demonstrated that the ensemble filter combined with the ABC+GA hybrid approach is a promising solution for text feature selection,offering superior performance compared to other existing feature selection algorithms.

Analyzing COVID-19 Discourse on Twitter: Text Clustering and Classification Models for Public Health Surveillance

Social media has revolutionized the dissemination of real-life information,serving as a robust platform for sharing life events.Twitter,characterized by its brevity and continuous flow of posts,has emerged as a crucial source for public health surveillance,offering valuable insights into public reactions during the COVID-19 pandemic.This study aims to leverage a range of machine learning techniques to extract pivotal themes and facilitate text classification on a dataset of COVID-19 outbreak-related tweets.Diverse topic modeling approaches have been employed to extract pertinent themes and subsequently form a dataset for training text classification models.An assessment of coherence metrics revealed that the Gibbs Sampling Dirichlet Mixture Model(GSDMM),which utilizes trigram and bag-of-words(BOW)feature extraction,outperformed Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF),Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA),and a hybrid strategy involving Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)combined with LDA and K-means to pinpoint significant themes within the dataset.Among the models assessed for text clustering,the utilization of LDA,either as a clustering model or for feature extraction combined with BERT for K-means,resulted in higher coherence scores,consistent with human ratings,signifying their efficacy.In particular,LDA,notably in conjunction with trigram representation and BOW,demonstrated superior performance.This underscores the suitability of LDA for conducting topic modeling,given its proficiency in capturing intricate textual relationships.In the context of text classification,models such as Linear Support Vector Classification(LSVC),Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory(BiLSTM),Convolutional Neural Network with BiLSTM(CNN-BiLSTM),and BERT have shown outstanding performance,achieving accuracy and weighted F1-Score scores exceeding 80%.These results significantly surpassed other models,such as Multinomial Naive Bayes(MNB),Linear Support Vector Machine(LSVM),and Logistic Regression(LR),which achieved scores in the range of 60 to 70 percent.

BSTFNet:An Encrypted Malicious Traffic Classification Method Integrating Global Semantic and Spatiotemporal Features

While encryption technology safeguards the security of network communications,malicious traffic also uses encryption protocols to obscure its malicious behavior.To address the issues of traditional machine learning methods relying on expert experience and the insufficient representation capabilities of existing deep learning methods for encrypted malicious traffic,we propose an encrypted malicious traffic classification method that integrates global semantic features with local spatiotemporal features,called BERT-based Spatio-Temporal Features Network(BSTFNet).At the packet-level granularity,the model captures the global semantic features of packets through the attention mechanism of the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)model.At the byte-level granularity,we initially employ the Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit(BiGRU)model to extract temporal features from bytes,followed by the utilization of the Text Convolutional Neural Network(TextCNN)model with multi-sized convolution kernels to extract local multi-receptive field spatial features.The fusion of features from both granularities serves as the ultimate multidimensional representation of malicious traffic.Our approach achieves accuracy and F1-score of 99.39%and 99.40%,respectively,on the publicly available USTC-TFC2016 dataset,and effectively reduces sample confusion within the Neris and Virut categories.The experimental results demonstrate that our method has outstanding representation and classification capabilities for encrypted malicious traffic.

Novel Machine Learning–Based Approach for Arabic Text Classification Using Stylistic and Semantic Features

Text classification is an essential task for many applications related to the Natural Language Processing domain.It can be applied in many fields,such as Information Retrieval,Knowledge Extraction,and Knowledge modeling.Even though the importance of this task,Arabic Text Classification tools still suffer from many problems and remain incapable of responding to the increasing volume of Arabic content that circulates on the web or resides in large databases.This paper introduces a novel machine learning-based approach that exclusively uses hybrid(stylistic and semantic)features.First,we clean the Arabic documents and translate them to English using translation tools.Consequently,the semantic features are automatically extracted from the translated documents using an existing database of English topics.Besides,the model automatically extracts from the textual content a set of stylistic features such as word and character frequencies and punctuation.Therefore,we obtain 3 types of features:semantic,stylistic and hybrid.Using each time,a different type of feature,we performed an in-depth comparison study of nine well-known Machine Learning models to evaluate our approach and used a standard Arabic corpus.The obtained results show that Neural Network outperforms other models and provides good performances using hybrid features(F1-score=0.88%).

With a population of 440 million,Arabic language users form the rapidly growing language group on the web in terms of the number of Internet users.11 million monthly Twitter users were active and posted nearly 27.4 million tweets every day.In order to develop a classification system for the Arabic lan-guage there comes a need of understanding the syntactic framework of the words thereby manipulating and representing the words for making their classification effective.In this view,this article introduces a Dolphin Swarm Optimization with Convolutional Deep Belief Network for Short Text Classification(DSOCDBN-STC)model on Arabic Corpus.The presented DSOCDBN-STC model majorly aims to classify Arabic short text in social media.The presented DSOCDBN-STC model encompasses preprocessing and word2vec word embedding at the preliminary stage.Besides,the DSOCDBN-STC model involves CDBN based classification model for Arabic short text.At last,the DSO technique can be exploited for optimal modification of the hyperparameters related to the CDBN method.To establish the enhanced performance of the DSOCDBN-STC model,a wide range of simulations have been performed.The simulation results con-firmed the supremacy of the DSOCDBN-STC model over existing models with improved accuracy of 99.26%.

Gate-Attention and Dual-End Enhancement Mechanism for Multi-Label Text Classification

In the realm of Multi-Label Text Classification(MLTC),the dual challenges of extracting rich semantic features from text and discerning inter-label relationships have spurred innovative approaches.Many studies in semantic feature extraction have turned to external knowledge to augment the model’s grasp of textual content,often overlooking intrinsic textual cues such as label statistical features.In contrast,these endogenous insights naturally align with the classification task.In our paper,to complement this focus on intrinsic knowledge,we introduce a novel Gate-Attention mechanism.This mechanism adeptly integrates statistical features from the text itself into the semantic fabric,enhancing the model’s capacity to understand and represent the data.Additionally,to address the intricate task of mining label correlations,we propose a Dual-end enhancement mechanism.This mechanism effectively mitigates the challenges of information loss and erroneous transmission inherent in traditional long short term memory propagation.We conducted an extensive battery of experiments on the AAPD and RCV1-2 datasets.These experiments serve the dual purpose of confirming the efficacy of both the Gate-Attention mechanism and the Dual-end enhancement mechanism.Our final model unequivocally outperforms the baseline model,attesting to its robustness.These findings emphatically underscore the imperativeness of taking into account not just external knowledge but also the inherent intricacies of textual data when crafting potent MLTC models.

Automated Arabic Text Classification Using Hyperparameter Tuned Hybrid Deep Learning Model

The text classification process has been extensively investigated in various languages,especially English.Text classification models are vital in several Natural Language Processing(NLP)applications.The Arabic language has a lot of significance.For instance,it is the fourth mostly-used language on the internet and the sixth official language of theUnitedNations.However,there are few studies on the text classification process in Arabic.A few text classification studies have been published earlier in the Arabic language.In general,researchers face two challenges in the Arabic text classification process:low accuracy and high dimensionality of the features.In this study,an Automated Arabic Text Classification using Hyperparameter Tuned Hybrid Deep Learning(AATC-HTHDL)model is proposed.The major goal of the proposed AATC-HTHDL method is to identify different class labels for the Arabic text.The first step in the proposed model is to pre-process the input data to transform it into a useful format.The Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency(TF-IDF)model is applied to extract the feature vectors.Next,the Convolutional Neural Network with Recurrent Neural Network(CRNN)model is utilized to classify the Arabic text.In the final stage,the Crow Search Algorithm(CSA)is applied to fine-tune the CRNN model’s hyperparameters,showing the work’s novelty.The proposed AATCHTHDL model was experimentally validated under different parameters and the outcomes established the supremacy of the proposed AATC-HTHDL model over other approaches.

A Novel Efficient and Effective Preprocessing Algorithm for Text Classification

Text classification is an essential task of natural language processing. Preprocessing, which determines the representation of text features, is one of the key steps of text classification architecture. It proposed a novel efficient and effective preprocessing algorithm with three methods for text classification combining the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit algorithm to perform the classification. The main idea of the novel preprocessing strategy is that it combined stopword removal and/or regular filtering with tokenization and lowercase conversion, which can effectively reduce the feature dimension and improve the text feature matrix quality. Simulation tests on the 20 newsgroups dataset show that compared with the existing state-of-the-art method, the new method reduces the number of features by 19.85%, 34.35%, 26.25% and 38.67%, improves accuracy by 7.36%, 8.8%, 5.71% and 7.73%, and increases the speed of text classification by 17.38%, 25.64%, 23.76% and 33.38% on the four data, respectively.

Text categorization based on fuzzy classification rules tree

To deal with the problem that arises when the conventional fuzzy class-association method applies repetitive scans of the classifier to classify new texts,which has low efficiency, a new approach based on the FCR-tree（fuzzy classification rules tree）for text categorization is proposed.The compactness of the FCR-tree saves significant space in storing a large set of rules when there are many repeated words in the rules.In comparison with classification rules,the fuzzy classification rules contain not only words,but also the fuzzy sets corresponding to the frequencies of words appearing in texts.Therefore,the construction of an FCR-tree and its structure are different from a CR-tree.To debase the difficulty of FCR-tree construction and rules retrieval,more k-FCR-trees are built.When classifying a new text,it is not necessary to search the paths of the sub-trees led by those words not appearing in this text,thus reducing the number of traveling rules.Experimental results show that the proposed approach obviously outperforms the conventional method in efficiency.

Parallel naive Bayes algorithm for large-scale Chinese text classification based on spark

The sharp increase of the amount of Internet Chinese text data has significantly prolonged the processing time of classification on these data.In order to solve this problem,this paper proposes and implements a parallel naive Bayes algorithm(PNBA)for Chinese text classification based on Spark,a parallel memory computing platform for big data.This algorithm has implemented parallel operation throughout the entire training and prediction process of naive Bayes classifier mainly by adopting the programming model of resilient distributed datasets(RDD).For comparison,a PNBA based on Hadoop is also implemented.The test results show that in the same computing environment and for the same text sets,the Spark PNBA is obviously superior to the Hadoop PNBA in terms of key indicators such as speedup ratio and scalability.Therefore,Spark-based parallel algorithms can better meet the requirement of large-scale Chinese text data mining.

Feature selections or conversions were performed by using maximum mutual information including linear and non-linear feature conversions. Entropy was used and extended to find right features commendably in pattern recognition systems. Favorable foundation would be established for text classification mining.

Question-Answering Pair Matching Based on Question Classification and Ensemble Sentence Embedding

Question-answering(QA)models find answers to a given question.The necessity of automatically finding answers is increasing because it is very important and challenging from the large-scale QA data sets.In this paper,we deal with the QA pair matching approach in QA models,which finds the most relevant question and its recommended answer for a given question.Existing studies for the approach performed on the entire dataset or datasets within a category that the question writer manually specifies.In contrast,we aim to automatically find the category to which the question belongs by employing the text classification model and to find the answer corresponding to the question within the category.Due to the text classification model,we can effectively reduce the search space for finding the answers to a given question.Therefore,the proposed model improves the accuracy of the QA matching model and significantly reduces the model inference time.Furthermore,to improve the performance of finding similar sentences in each category,we present an ensemble embedding model for sentences,improving the performance compared to the individual embedding models.Using real-world QA data sets,we evaluate the performance of the proposed QA matching model.As a result,the accuracy of our final ensemble embedding model based on the text classification model is 81.18%,which outperforms the existing models by 9.81%∼14.16%point.Moreover,in terms of the model inference speed,our model is faster than the existing models by 2.61∼5.07 times due to the effective reduction of search spaces by the text classification model.
