基于数据压缩的文本排序与分类

Text Ranking and Classification using Data Compression

摘要:

一种众所周知但很少使用的文本分类方法使用条件熵估计,该估计是使用数据压缩工具计算的。从压缩大小导出的文本亲和度分数可用于分类和排名任务,但其成功与否取决于所使用的压缩工具。我们使用Zstandard压缩器,并以几种方式加强这些想法,称之为语言无关技术Zest。在应用中,这种方法简化了配置,避免了仔细的特征提取和大型ML模型。我们的消融研究证实了我们引入的个体增强的价值。我们表明,Zest可以补充生产中特定语言的多维内容嵌入并与之竞争,但无法在公共数据集上优于其他计数方法。

英文摘要:

A well-known but rarely used approach to text categorization uses conditional entropy estimates computed using data compression tools. Text affinity scores derived from compressed sizes can be used for classification and ranking tasks, but their success depends on the compression tools used. We use the Zstandard compressor and strengthen these ideas in several ways, calling the resulting language-agnostic technique Zest. In applications, this approach simplifies configuration, avoiding careful feature extraction and large ML models. Our ablation studies confirm the value of individual enhancements we introduce. We show that Zest complements and can compete with language-specific multidimensional content embeddings in production, but cannot outperform other counting methods on public datasets.
