Text classification is one of the most important and typical tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) which can be applied for many applications. Recently, deep learning approaches has shown their advantages in solving text classification problem, in which Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one of the most successful model in the field. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning approach for categorizing text documents by using scope-based convolutional neural network. Different from windowbased CNN, scope does not require the words that construct a local feature have to be contiguous. It can represent deeper local information of text data. We propose a large-scale scope-based convolutional neural network (LSS-CNN), which is based on scope convolution, aggregation optimization, and max pooling operation. Based on these techniques, we can gradually extract the most valuable local information of the text document. This paper also discusses how to effectively calculate the scope-based information and parallel training for large-scale datasets. Extensive experiments have been conducted on real datasets to compare our model with several state-of-the-art approaches. The experimental results show that LSS-CNN can achieve both effectiveness and good scalability on big text data.
Search engines use significant hardware and energy resources to process billions of user queries per day, where Boolean query processing for document retrieval is an essential ingredient. Considering the huge number of users and large scale of the network, traditional query processing mechanisms may not be applicable since they mostly depend on a centralized retrieval method. To remedy this issue, this paper proposes a processing technique for aggregated Boolean queries in the context of edge computing, where each sub-region of the network corresponds to an edge network regulated by an edge server, and the Boolean queries are evaluated in a distributed fashion on the edge servers. This decentralized query processing technique has demonstrated its efficiency and applicability for the document retrieval problem. Experimental results on two real-world datasets show that this technique achieves high query performance and outperforms the traditional centralized methods by 2–3 times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
