Text Classification Using


LSTM
Text classification is the task of tagging natural language texts or unstructured
text to one of the categories from a predefined set. Identifying positive-negative
sentiments in product reviews, categorizing news articles, and segmenting
customers based on their conversations about products in social media are some
of the applications of text classification. One real-world example is automatic
spam detection using machine learning (ML) in Gmail. The main goal of this
chapter is to make the reader understand and get familiar with hands-on deep
learning approaches for text classification.

In the previous chapters (Chapter 2, Text Classification and POS Tagging Using
NLTK), we briefly touched upon text classification using classic ML approaches
using a bag-of-words models with NLTK and sklearn. In this chapter, we will
dive deeper into classifying text using deep learning methods. The focus of this
chapter will be mainly on using recurrent neural networks (RNNs), such as
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) for
text classification. However, we will also cover Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs) for completeness. To address the breadth of this topic, we will
also touch upon a related unsupervised learning method called topic modeling.
To summarize, the following will be the main topics covered in this chapter:

Topic modeling

Using CNNs to classify text

RNNs for text classification

Text classification with transfer learning
