Word embedding and text classification based on deep learning methods

Traditional manual text classification method has been unable to cope with the current huge amount of data volume. The improvement of deep learning technology also accelerates the technology of text classification. Based on this background, we presented different word embedding methods such as word2vec, doc2vec, tfidf and embedding layer. After word embedding, we demonstrated 8 deep learning models to classify the news text automatically and compare the accuracy of all the models, the model ‘2 layer GRU model with pretrained word2vec embeddings’ model got the highest accuracy. Automatic text classification can help people summary the text accurately and quickly from the mass of text information. No matter in the academic or in the industry area, it is a topic worth discussing
