This paper focuses on the task of text classification in natural language processing. While deep neural networks, particularly Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs), have shown impressive performance in this area, most existing methods overlook the importance of label information. They either treat labels as meaningless one-hot vectors or use basic embedding methods to learn label representations during model training. This limits the semantic information and guidance that labels can provide. To address this issue, the authors propose a novel approach called Relation of Relation Learning Network (R2-Net) for text classification. The R2-Net incorporates Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) and introduces a self-supervised Relation of Relation (R2) classification task to better utilize label information from a one-hot perspective. The authors also employ triplet loss to enhance the analysis of differences and connections among labels. Additionally, they incorporate external knowledge from WordNet to obtain multi-aspect descriptions for label semantic learning. The paper is organized as follows: Section II provides an overview of related work in text classification and contrastive learning. Section III presents formal definitions of text classification and the proposed R2 classification task. Sections IV and V describe the technical details of R2-Net and its extension to a Description-Enhanced Label Embedding network (DELE). The experiments and detailed analysis are presented in Section VI, followed by discussions and conclusions in Sections VII and VIII. In summary, this paper proposes a novel approach for text classification that leverages SSL, R2 classification, triplet loss, and external knowledge from WordNet. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in utilizing label information for improved text classification performance.

Abstract: Text Classification is one of the fundamental tasks in natural language processing, which requires an agent to determine the most appropriate category for input sentences. Recently, deep neural networks have achieved impressive performance in this area, especially Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs). Usually, these methods concentrate on input sentences and corresponding semantic embedding generation. However, for another essential component: labels, most existing works either treat them as meaningless one-hot vectors or use vanilla embedding methods to learn label representations along with model training, underestimating the semantic information and guidance that these labels reveal. To alleviate this problem and better exploit label information, in this paper, we employ Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) in model learning process and design a novel self-supervised Relation of Relation (R2) classification task for label utilization from a one-hot manner perspective. Then, we propose a novel Relation of Relation Learning Network (R2-Net) for text classification, in which text classification and R2 classification are treated as optimization targets. Meanwhile, triplet loss is employed to enhance the analysis of differences and connections among labels. Moreover, considering that one-hot usage is still short of exploiting label information, we incorporate external knowledge from WordNet to obtain multi-aspect descriptions for label semantic learning and extend R2-Net to a novel Description-Enhanced Label Embedding network (DELE) from a label embedding perspective. ...
