Abstract

Large-scale pretrained models have led to a series of breakthroughs in Text classification. However, Lack of global structure information limits the performance of pertrained models. In this paper, we propose a novel network named BertCA, which employs Bert, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) and Graph Attention Networks (GAT) to handle the task of text classification simultaneously. It aims to learn a rich sentence representation involved semantic representation, global structure information and neighborhood nodes features. In this way, we are able to leverage the complementary strengths of pretrained models and graph models. Experimental results on R8, R52, Ohsumed and MR benchmark datasets show that our model obtains significant performance improvement and achieves the state-of-the-art results in four benchmark datasets.
