Recent Deep Learning Techniques on Short Text Classification

A key work in language processing is text classification, which is used in information retrieval, recommendation, and sentiment analysis. Thanks to the advent of platforms like social media, short text has become one of the most predominant forms of communication. Recently, because of the unprecedented development of deep learning, deep neural network has been used to handle text classification by researchers. Although quantities of methods have been proposed in literature and the research work about this classification task has come a long way, there is a little summary about it, raising the need of a comprehensive review about the development of this task for the latest decade. This paper makes an overview of the classification task about introducing the techniques people used to improve the performance on the model. What's more, I make an analysis about the potential problems of this task which may be the key points that we should pay attention to in the future.
