A deep learning method study of user interest classification

Abstract

In this paper, a deep learning method study is conducted to solve a new multiclass text classification problem, identifying user interests by text messages. We used an original dataset of almost 90 thousand forum text messages, labelled for ten interests. We experimented with different modern neural network architectures: recurrent and convolutional, as well as simpler feedforward networks. Classification accuracy was evaluated for different architectures, text representations and sets of miscellaneous parameters.
