Abstract
With the development of IoT and 5G technologies, more and more online resources are presented in trendy multimodal data forms over the Internet. Hence, effectively processing multimodal information is significant to the development of various online applications, including e-Iearning and digital health, to just name a few. However, most AI-driven systems or models can only handle limited forms of information. In this study, we investigate the correlation between natural language processing (NLP) and pattern recognition, trying to apply the mainstream approaches and models used in the computer vision (CV) to the task of NLP. Based on two different Twitter datasets, we propose a convolutional neural network based model to interpret the content of short text with different goals and application backgrounds. The experiments have demonstrated that our proposed model shows fairly competitive performance compared to the mainstream recurrent neural network based NLP models such as bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) and bidirectional gate recurrent unit (Bi-GRU). Moreover, the experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed model can precisely locate the key information in the given text.
