Short Text Classification via Knowledge powered Attention with Similarity Matrix based CNN

Short text is becoming more and more popular on the web, such as Chat Message, SMS and Product Reviews. Accurately classifying short text is an important and challenging task. A number of studies have difficulties in addressing this problem because of the word ambiguity and data sparsity. To address this issue, we propose a knowledge powered attention with similarity matrix based convolutional neural network (KASM) model, which can compute comprehensive information by utilizing the knowledge and deep neural network. We use knowledge graph (KG) to enrich the semantic representation of short text, specially, the information of parent-entity is introduced in our model. Meanwhile, we consider the word interaction in the literal-level between short text and the representation of label, and utilize similarity matrix based convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract it. For the purpose of measuring the importance of knowledge, we introduce the attention mechanisms to choose the important information. Experimental results on five standard datasets show that our model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
