Graph Receptive Transformer Encoder for Text Classification

Happy to share our latest paper titled “Graph Receptive Transformer Encoder (GRTE) for Text Classification” published in IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks! Our novel approach combines graph neural networks (GNNs) with large-scale pre-trained models to address limitations in attention mechanisms of transformers for text classification. GRTE retrieves global and contextual information […]
