The proliferation of short texts resulting from the rapid advancements of social networks, online communication, and e-commerce has created a pressing need for short text classification in various applications. This paper presents a novel approach for short text classification, which combines a hierarchical heterogeneous graph with latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) fusion. Our method first models the short text dataset as a hierarchical heterogeneous graph, which incorporates more syntactic and semantic information through a word graph, parts-of-speech (POS) tag graph, and entity graph. We then connected the representation of these three feature maps to derive a comprehensive feature vector for the text. Finally, we used the LDA topic model to adjust the feature weight, enhancing the effectiveness of short text extension. Our experiments demonstrated that our proposed approach has a promising performance in English short text classification, while in Chinese short text classification, although slightly inferior to the LDA + TF-IDF method, it still achieved promising results.

In contemporary society, the incidence of depression is increasing significantly around the world. At present, most of the treatment methods for depression are psychological counseling and drug therapy. However, this approach does not allow patients to visualize the logic of hormones at the pathological level. In order to better apply intelligence computing methods to the medical field, and to more easily analyze the relationship between norepinephrine and dopamine in depression, it is necessary to build an interpretable graphical model to analyze this relationship which is of great significance to help discover new treatment ideas and potential drug targets. Petri net (PN) is a mathematical and graphic tool used to simulate and study complex system processes. This article utilizes PN to study the relationship between norepinephrine and dopamine in depression. We use PN to model the relationship between the norepinephrine and dopamine, and then use the invariant method of PN to verify and analyze it. The mathematical model proposed in this article can explain the complex pathogenesis of depression and visualize the process of intracellular hormone-induced state changes. Finally, the experiment result suggests that our method provides some possible research directions and approaches for the development of antidepressant drugs.
