TextCNN Description

TextCNN is an algorithm that uses convolutional neural networks to classify text. It was proposed by Yoon Kim in the article "Convolutional Neural Networks for Sentence Classification" in 2014. It is widely used in various tasks of text classification (such as sentiment analysis). It has become the standard benchmark for the new text classification framework. Each module of TextCNN can complete text classification tasks independently, and it is convenient for distributed configuration and parallel execution. TextCNN is very suitable for the semantic analysis of short texts such as Weibo/News/E-commerce reviews and video bullet screens.

Paper: Kim Y. Convolutional neural networks for sentence classification[J]. arXiv preprint arXiv:1408.5882, 2014.

Model Architecture

The basic network structure design of TextCNN can refer to the paper "Convolutional Neural Networks for Sentence Classification". The specific implementation takes reading a sentence "I like this movie very much!" as an example. First, the word segmentation algorithm is used to divide the words into 7 words, and then the words in each part are expanded into a five-dimensional vector through the embedding method. Then use different convolution kernels ([3,4,5]*5) to perform convolution operations on them to obtain feature maps. The default number of convolution kernels is 2. Then use the maxpool operation to pool all the feature maps, and finally merge the pooling result into a one-dimensional feature vector through the connection operation. At last, it can be divided into 2 categories with softmax, and the positive/negative emotions are obtained.

# (3) Set the startup file to "train.py" on the website UI interface.
# (4) Set the "Dataset path" and "Output file path" and "Job log path" to your path on the website UI interface.
# (5) Create your job.

# run evaluation on modelarts example
# (1) Copy or upload your trained model to S3 bucket.
# (2) Perform a or b.
#       a. Set "checkpoint_file_path='/cache/checkpoint_path/model.ckpt'" on yaml file.
#          Set "checkpoint_url=/The path of checkpoint in S3/" on yaml file.
#       b. Add "checkpoint_file_path='/cache/checkpoint_path/model.ckpt'" on the website UI interface.
#          Add "checkpoint_url=/The path of checkpoint in S3/" on the website UI interface.
# (3) Set the code directory to "/path/textcnn" on the website UI interface.
# (4) Set the startup file to "eval.py" on the website UI interface.
# (5) Set the "Dataset path" and "Output file path" and "Job log path" to your path on the website UI interface.
# (6) Create your job.

Training Process

• running on Ascend

  python train.py > train.log 2>&1 &
  OR
  sh scripts/run_train.sh
  

  The python command above will run in the background, you can view the results through the file train.log.

  After training, you'll get some checkpoint files in ckpt. The loss value will be achieved as follows:

  # grep "loss is " train.log
  epoch: 1 step 149, loss is 0.6194226145744324
  epoch: 2 step 149, loss is 0.38729554414749146
  ...
  

  The model checkpoint will be saved in the ckpt directory.

Evaluation Process

• evaluation on movie review dataset when running on Ascend

  Before running the command below, please check the checkpoint path used for evaluation. Please set the checkpoint path to be the absolute full path, e.g., "username/textcnn/ckpt/train_textcnn.ckpt".

  python eval.py --checkpoint_path=ckpt_path > eval.log 2>&1 &
  OR
  sh scripts/run_eval.sh ckpt_path
  

  The above python command will run in the background. You can view the results through the file "eval.log". The accuracy of the test dataset will be as follows:

  # grep "accuracy: " eval.log
  accuracy: {'acc': 0.7971428571428572}
