Abstract

Text matching is an important task in natural language processing field, and it is widely used in intelligent question answering, information retrieval and other fields. With the rise of deep learning, text matching has gradually shifted from the traditional word similarity method to the neural network research. Currently, text matching methods based on deep learning are mainly divided into representation-based text matching models and interaction-based text matching models. Among them, the representation-based text matching model encodes two sentences separately, which easily loses the semantic focus and makes it difficult to measure the importance of context between sentences. The interaction-based text matching model ignores global information, and thus affects the global matching effect. Based on this, this paper proposes a multi-granularity text matching model combined with bidirectional attention (MGBA). The model enables two text tensors to interact in advance through the bidirectional attention mechanism, and then extracts the multi-granularity features of text tensors through LSTM and CNN, so that the model can focus on different levels of text information, thus solving the problem that traditional deep models tend to lose semantic focus and ignore global information in the process of text matching.
