In the traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the information cannot be transmitted to each other between the neurons of the same layer, the feature information at the same layer cannot be fully utilized, making the lack of the representation of the characteristics of the sentence system. As the result, the feature learning ability of model is limited and the text classification effect is influenced. Aiming at the problem, a model based on joint network CNN-BiGRU and attention mechanism was proposed. In the model, the CNN-BiGRU joint network was used for feature learning. Firstly, deep-level phrase features were extracted by CNN. Then, the Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) was used for the serialized information learning to obtain the characteristics of the sentence system and strengthen the association of CNN pooling layer features. Finally, the effective feature filtering was completed by adding attention mechanism to the hidden state weighted calculation. Comparative experiments show that the method achieves 91.93% F1 value and effectively improves the accuracy of text classification with small time cost and good application ability.
