Nursing-care text classification using word vector representation and convolutional neural networks

In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based classification method for nursing-care classification. CNNs have obtained strong performance in computer vision speech recognition areas. Recently, CNNs have been also applied sentence classification. We have studied nursing-care text classification [6]-[18]. In our former works, we proposed several types of feature definitions and examined some classification models. In this paper, each text is represented as a concatenated word vector. Then, every text is classified using CNN-based classification methods. We examined some classification models at the classification layer in CNNs. From our experimental results, the proposed CNN-based method obtained better performance than our former works.
