Rationale-Augmented Convolutional Neural Networks for Text Classification
Open accessAbstract
We present a new Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for text classification that jointly exploits labels on documents and their constituent sentences.Specifically, we consider scenarios in which annotators explicitly mark sentences (or snippets) that support their overall document categorization, i.e., they provide rationales.Our model exploits such supervision via a hierarchical approach in which each document is represented by a linear combination of the vector representations of its component sentences.We propose a sentence-level convolutional model that estimates the probability that a given sentence is a rationale, and we then scale the contribution of each sentence to the aggregate document representation in proportion to these estimates.Experiments on five classification datasets that have document labels and associated rationales demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms strong baselines.Moreover, our model naturally provides explanations for its predictions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
