Abstract  

[Objective] This paper proposes a new model based on bidirectional long-short term memory network with improved attention, aiming to address the issues facing short texts classification. [Methods] First, we used the pre-trained word vectors to digitize the original texts. Then, we extracted their semantic features with bidirectional long-short term memory network. Third, we calculated their global attention scores with the fused forward and reverse features in the improved attention layer. Finally, we obtained short texts vector representation with deep semantic features. [Results] We used Softmax to create the sample label. Compared with the traditional CNN, LSTM and BLSTM networks, the proposed model improved the classification accuracy up to 19.1%. [Limitations] The performance of our new model on long texts is not satisfactory. [Conclusions] The proposed model could effectively classify short texts.
Key words： Short Text Classification      Bidirectional Long-short Term Memory Network      Attentive Mechanism
