Abstract

As diabetes has become one of the major public health challenges worldwide, the importance of automatic question-answering services for diabetes in daily healthcare is gradually being highlighted. To address this challenge, this paper aims to improve the accuracy of classifying Chinese diabetes questions. In order to achieve this goal, we utilized BERT pre-training models to extract text feature vectors, combined them with convolutional neural networks to extract local features, and employed pooling and fully connected layers for classification. Additionally, we also tested different BERT models and obtained the best results using voting fusion technology. The final accuracy improved by 2% compared to a single model. Experimental results demonstrate that the model can effectively classify Chinese diabetes questions, providing robust support for the implementation of automated diabetes question-answering services.
