Abstract

Text classification is one of the major research areas for Natural Language Processing (NLP). Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and their combination models have been applied in many NLP tasks. This paper presents a joint CNN with no max-polling layer and Bidirectional LSTM to fulfill the requirements of each model. The proposed model takes advantage of CNN to extract features and Bi-LSTM to capture long term contextual information from past and future contexts. The proposed model is compared with CNN, Bi-LSTM, RNN, and CNN-LSTM models with pre-trained word embedding on five article datasets in Myanmar language.
