1 Introduction
The task of text classification is an important problem in the field of natural language processing. This article mainly discusses how to use the Graph Attention Network (GAT) model for text classification. The GAT model is a graph convolutional neural network structure that can simultaneously capture local and global text information, and learn the common features of text representations through the neural network, so as to achieve the best performance in different text classification tasks.
The Graph Attention Network model consists of two parts: the graph attention layer (GAT layer) and the graph update layer (graph update layer). The GAT layer weights the text information according to the neighbor node information of the text and the relationship between them, and then obtains the text representation; while the graph update layer is used to update the graph structure and eliminate redundant or noise information. Finally, the classification results are output through the fully connected layer.
Through the graph attention mechanism, the GAT model can learn the global information in the text, and can extract similar features of different texts, so that different texts have similar representations. This is very effective for many complex text classification tasks. For example, for tasks such as sentiment analysis, news classification, and text summary generation, GAT models can perform these tasks better than traditional neural network methods.
This article will introduce the basic principles and operation steps of the GAT model in detail. The article will first introduce the background knowledge of the GAT model, including the definition of graphs, graph convolution, graph attention, GCN, GAT model design, experimental settings, and evaluation indicators. Then introduce the experimental data sets of the GAT model, including the IMDB movie review data set, 20Newsgroups topic classification data set, Amazon product review data set, etc. Then introduce the experimental results of the GAT model on specific text classification tasks, including the test set classification accuracy on the IMDB movie review dataset reaching over 95%, the F1 score on the 20Newsgroups topic classification dataset reaching over 90%, and Amazon product reviews The F1 score on the dataset reaches over 94%. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the GAT model are summarized, as well as the applicable scenarios of each text classification task.
