Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Arabic language has gained much significance in recent years. The most commonly-utilized NLP task is the ‘Text Classification’ process. Its main intention is to apply the Machine Learning (ML) approaches for automatically classifying the textual files into one or more pre-defined categories. In ML approaches, the first and foremost crucial step is identifying an appropriate large dataset to test and train the method. One of the trending ML techniques, i.e., Deep Learning (DL) technique needs huge volumes of different types of datasets for training to yield the best outcomes. The current study designs a new Dice Optimization with a Deep Hybrid Boltzmann Machine-based Arabic Corpus Classification (DODHBM-ACC) model in this background. The presented DODHBM-ACC model primarily relies upon different stages of pre-processing and the word2vec word embedding process. For Arabic text classification, the DHBM technique is utilized. This technique is a hybrid version of the Deep Boltzmann Machine (DBM) and Deep Belief Network (DBN). It has the advantage of learning the decisive intention of the classification process. To adjust the hyperparameters of the DHBM technique, the Dice Optimization Algorithm (DOA) is exploited in this study. The experimental analysis was conducted to establish the superior performance of the proposed DODHBM-ACC model. The outcomes inferred the better performance of the proposed DODHBM-ACC model over other recent approaches.
With the advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP), the Arabic Text Categorization (ATC) process has become an active research domain since the Arabic language has several difficulties, such as highly-complicated structure, unique morphological characters and so on [1]. Indeed, the derivational and the inflectional nature of the Arabic language examine highly-complex structures and morphology. The key objective of the ATC approach is to allow pre-defined classes for the Arabic text based on its content. Text representation is a decisive stage that suggestively impacts the performance of the ATC process. In literature, an extensive array of Arabic text representation techniques was reviewed [2]. For example, a conventional text modelling related to the Bag-Of-Words (BOW) representation was attained for the existing acts in the NLP domain. But, this technique suffered from the curse of dimensionality and the non-existence of semantic relations among different text units [3,4]. Text Classification (TC) can be described as a text-mining procedure in which a category or a class is specified for the presented textual file [5]. The productivity of this procedure is measured in terms of class sets, whereas all the class sets contain a set of text files that belong to a particular kind or a topic [6].
The single-label TC presents a single label for every file, whereas the multi-label TC provides different labels for every file [7]. A dynamic classification method is required to handle the huge volumes of text generated on the web every minute. This method should categorize every file under a suitable category and simplify the tasks in other areas like information retrieval and NLP. Unsupervised and supervised Machine Learning (ML) techniques were scrutinized in the domain of TC earlier [8,9]. The unsupervised learning method varies from supervised learning in the labelled dataset. Supervised learning methods utilize labelled datasets to forecast the future, whereas these labelled datasets are known to be the knowledge repository of the models [10]. Precisely, it can be explained as a teaching process in which a method is trained with adequate information and is allowed to perform the predictions after the teaching process is over [11]. In the unsupervised learning approach, the data is not labelled. These methods are unaware of any data or its categories or classes in a dataset; such methods try to find the significant paradigms in a dataset. Both characteristics, as well as the complexities of the Arabic language, make the processing of Arabic texts [12] a challenging process. It is difficult to handle numerous complexities in Arabic like diglossia, ambiguity, etc.; at first, it is challenging to understand and read the Arabic script since the meaning conveyed by the Arabic letters changes according to their position in a word. Secondly, the language has no dedicated letter or capitalization method. Finally, the language has a complex morphology framework, while its alphabet system is not easy to understand [13]. In addition, it is also challenging to normalize the inconsistencies when using a few letters, diacritical marks and dialects. Linguistics researchers and technology developers deal with complexities in NLP tools through morphology analysis, tokenization and stemming from the Arabic language [14].
The current article designs a new Dice Optimization with a Deep Hybrid Boltzmann Machine-based Arabic Corpus Classification (DODHBM-ACC) model. The presented DODHBM-ACC model primarily relies upon different stages of pre-processing and the word2vec word embedding process. For Arabic text classification, the DHBM technique is utilized. It is a hybrid version of the Deep Boltzmann Machine (DBM) and Deep Belief Network (DBN). It has the advantage of learning the decisive intention of a classification process. To fine-tune the hyperparameters involved in the DHBM technique, the Dice Optimization Algorithm (DOA) is exploited in this study. The experimental analysis was conducted to establish the superior performance of the proposed DODHBM-ACC model.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 offers information about the works conducted earlier in this domain, and Section 3 explains the proposed model. Next, Section 4 provides the information on experimental validation, whereas Section 5 concludes the work.
Related Works
In recent times, Deep Learning (DL) methods are extensively utilized in Sentiment Analysis (SA) research. Few researchers have employed NLP or pre-processing methods to prepare the data for the classification process. El-Alami et al. [15] examined Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a combination of these methods to accomplish the ATC process. This work further dealt with the morphological diversity of the Arabic letters by sightseeing the word embedding method using sub-word information and the position weights. This study framed a policy to refine the Arabic vector space representation to ensure an adjacent vector representation for the linked words. It was done with the help of semantic data embedding in lexical sources. The earlier study [16] devised a feature selection algorithm by integrating the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) technique and the chi-square technique. Chi-square is a filtering technique that can perform calculations simply and rapidly. It can handle a large-dimensional feature and can be utilized as an initial level in feature selection procedures. In this study, the ABC technique, i.e., a wrapper approach, was utilized as another level, after which Naive Base was employed as a Fitness Function (FF).
Al-Anzi et al. [17] developed an innovative text classification technique that neither practised dimensionality reduction nor SA approaches. The presented technique was a space-efficient approach, i.e., it made use of an initial-order Markov method for the hierarchical ATC. A Markov chain method was arranged based on the neighbouring character series for every category and its sub-categories. Then, the preparation methods were utilized to score the files for classification. Alhaj et al. [18] developed a new TC technique to improve the performance of the ATC process utilizing ML approaches. The identification of an appropriate Feature Selection (FS) methodology along with an ideal sum of the features remains the most important step in the ATC process to achieve the finest classification outcomes. Thus, the authors devised an algorithm named Optimal Configuration Determination for ATC (OCATC). It can also be used as a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique to find the best configuration. The presented algorithm derived and transformed the attributes from the text data into an arithmetic vector with the help of Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF–IDF) method.
Alshaer et al. [19] focused on learning the impact of the enhanced Chi (ImpCHI) square method on the performances of the six-renowned classification models. The proposed method was significant enough to enhance Arabic text classification. Further, it was considered a promising basis for the classification of the text due to its contribution in terms of pre-defined classes. Ababneh [20] attempted to find the best dataset that could offer fair evaluation and, importantly, train the method for TC. In this examination, renowned and accurate learning methods were employed. The author provided time measures and emphasized the relevance of training the methods using such datasets to enable the Arabic language authors to choose a suitable dataset and leverage a solid basis for comparison.
The Proposed DODHBM-ACC model
The current study has developed a new DODHBM-ACC model for automatic Arabic corpus classification. The presented DODHBM-ACC model primarily relies on four processes: data pre-processing, word embedding, Arabic text classification and hyperparameter tuning. Fig. 1 depicts the overall processes of the DODHBM-ACC technique.
Overall processes of the DODHBM-ACC approach
Data Preprocessing
The overall steps involved in this pre-processing function are briefed herewith.
Tokenization: This function tokenizes a text and classifies a text as either a token or a word set.
Stop-words removal: It excludes any type of speech, neither verb nor noun. The list of different stop words in Arabic has more than 400 terminologies.
Stemming: In this procedure, both suffixes and token prefixes are eliminated. The steaming function is a vital process and positively impacts a model's performance and efficacy.
Word Embedding
Word2Vec methodology uses neural network techniques to accomplish word representation [21]. This algorithm considers a large corpus as its input and considers each vocabulary in the corpora. Harris proposed this concept in which a word has the same meaning and is used in the same context. This technique upgrades the vector of a word based on its appearance in the external environment with the help of a pre-determined size window. The comparison amongst those words is higher than the earlier one, and the vector becomes convergent. The Word2Vec process follows two approaches such as the Skip-gram (SG) approach and the Continuous Bag-of-Words (CBOW) approach to generate a word vector. In the SG approach, the vector of an external environment within the window size is transformed based on the centre word. In the CBOW approach, the vector of a word centre is upgraded based on the external environment within the size of the window. In the current study, three dissimilar dimensions have been created for these approaches, such as 100, 200 and 300. Further, a window at 5 is also applied, whereas the minimum word appearance in the corpus is equivalent to 5.
Arabic Text Classification Using DHBM Technique
For the classification of Arabic texts, the DHBM technique is utilized. This technique is a hybrid version of DBM and DBN and is regarded as an increasingly-complicated variant of both methods [22]. The hybrid structure was created with the intention of conducting the classification process. An alternative method to consider the DHBM approach is to configure a strongly-incorporated Hybrid Restricted Boltzmann Machine (HRBM) instead of an individual module. SBEN is a stack of HRBM in which every model p(y,hl) is present at their corresponding level l of generalization in its general framework. To leverage the prediction power at all the generalization levels, an intermediate step of each layer-by-layer predictor is employed to compute the SBEN p(y|x)ensemble at the time of inference. The first edition of these models is trained through a bottom-up greedy algorithm from which every layer learns to independently forecast the output of another layer (trained on hidden presentation). Through relative observation of the SBEN, the DHBM model is created based on the stacked HRBM expertise. Afterwards, the predictors are connected, which implies that the prediction of the total model is based on the learning of every layer about their respective abstract levels. Additionally, the relationships are built between every layer through a full Bi-directional expertise. In other terms, in order to compute the layer of the hidden parameters in the algorithm (excluding input and top hidden states), the activation from above and below layers must be integrated instantaneously. As per the discussion given above, the three layers of the DHBM model are determined. As shown in Fig. 1, the description lengthens up to L-layer model. With the help of a pattern vector input x=(x1,⋯,xD) and the corresponding target parameter y∈{1,⋯,C}, two sets of the hidden parameters h1=(h11,⋯,hH11) and h2=(h12,⋯,hH22) and the model variables Θm=(W1,U1,W2,U2)3 are applied. At the same time, the energy of the DHBM method is determined as given below.
E(y,x,h1,h2)=−h1TW1x−h1TU1ey−h2TW2h1−h2TU2ey.
Eq. (1) notes that ey=(1i=y)i=1C refers to a one-hot vector encoder of y. It is likely that a 3-DHBM model is allocated to a 4-tuple (y,x,h1,h2) layer as given below.
p(y,x,Θ)=1Z∑he(E(y,x,h1,h2))
In Eq. (2), Z denotes the partition function which guarantees a valid and a likelihood distribution. This is evaluated by totalling each feasible module configuration.
It is to be noted that in the overview of top-down calculation, the hidden as well as the visible layers of the 3-DHBM model are calculated using the executable equations given below.
In this expression, a logistic sigmoid or an activation function is denoted by ϕ(v)=1/(1+e−v) and y is utilized to access a specific class filter from Ul. In order to adapt the mechanism for distinct kinds of inputs like continuously-valued parameters, ϕ(v) is substituted with some other alternative functions like Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU). The subset of a formula can be used as a fixed-point formula to run the mean-field inference in the deep structure to obtain μ={μ1,μ2}. It is to be noted that the dependence among those conditions and a consequent bottom-up pass calculation should be weighed double to initialize the mean field cycling via the Eqs. (3)–(6) so as to achieve the reconstructed model of the input and target values (or predictive models). Fig. 2 portrays the infrastructure of the DHBM technique.
Structure of the DHBM technique
In order to accelerate the prediction process and training time, the DHBM structure is expanded by means of a separate auxiliary network or a co-model that is formerly applied to infer the state of the hidden parameters in the DBM model. Here, the aim is to exploit the individual bottom-up pass. MLP or the detection model, performs a part of the approximation function that is successfully merged with the deep structures of the concentration. Further, it is also trained based on the gradient-descent method. During the fundamental co-training of the detection model, it is anticipated that the mean-field parameter of the target model remains unchanged. Then, an individual learning step is experimentally demonstrated to study the realistic training of the DBM model. Similar principles are claimed for training an in-depth hybrid structure, i.e., DHBM too.
In this detection model, the weight is initialized to DHBM at the beginning of training and is calculated as a completely-factorized element, as given below.
Qrec(h|v;v)=∏j=1H1∏k=1H2qrec(hj1)qrec(hk2)
In Eq. (7), the likelihood of qrec(hil=1)=vil for layers l=1,2 and v={v1,v2} is high. Then, the detection model is run with the help of a variable Θrec=(R1,R2) (neglecting bias term for simplicity). The equation given below shows the feedforward process.
vj1=ϕ(∑i=1D2Rij1vi)
vj2=ϕ(∑j=1H1Rjk2vj1)
In these expressions, the inference network weight is doubled at all the layers, except the top-most layer, to compensate for the missing top-down feedback. In this hybrid mechanism, especially at the time of prediction, the structure might straightaway produce a suitable calculation for y with the help of the trained detection model to infer the hidden state of the DHBM model.
The detection model can be trained based on Eq. (10):
This shows a minimized Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between Qrec(h|v;v), the factorial posterior of the detection model and QMF(h|v;μ) that corresponds to the posterior of the DBM mean-field.
Hyperparameter Tuning Using DOA
In order to fine-tune the hyperparameters involved in the DHBM technique, the DOA approach is exploited in this study. DOA is a game-based optimization approach that simulates the old-age game rules i.e., dice games. In this DOA approach, the primary location of a player is randomly generated on the playing field i.e., problem description space, as expressed in the following equation [23]:
Xi=(xi1,…,xid,…,xin).
After the formation of the system, the rule is quantified. The players compete in line with the game rules set earlier and determine the winner.
Calculation of each player’s score
A fitness function is applied to simulate the score of all the players. A high score is allocated to the player with the best position, calculated as follows.
In Eq. (12), Scorei refers to the score of a player i,fiti denotes their fitness function value, N indicates the number of players, playerbest shows the location of the optimal player, and playerworst shows the location of the worst player as given below.
playerbest=locationofmin(fitj)&j∈{1:N},
playerworst=locationofmax(fitj)&j∈{1:N}.
Tossing dice for each player
Here, every player tosses a dice. A dice count can be a discrete value between 1 and 6 that signifies the number of players guided by every player and is expressed as follows.
Dicei=K&K∈{123456},
In Eq. (15)Dice refers to the dice count for the i-th player.
Selection of the Guide’s players for each player
For every player, according to the count of the dice (K), a player guide is arbitrarily chosen amongst the players, as shown below
XGuideik=X1:XK,
In Eq. (16), XGuideik refers to the location guide’s player count,k.
Now, rk refers to an arbitrary count with a standard distribution within [0,1] and ScoreGuidek denotes the score of a player guide’s count,k.

Moreover, on dataset-2, the presented DODHBM-ACC approach offered an increased accuy of 99.11%, whereas the other models such as KNN, LOR, NB, RF and SVM achieved low accuy values such as 95.03%, 96.14%, 95.08%, 95.96% and 95.63% correspondingly. Thus, the proposed DODHBM-ACC model can be utilized for the classification of the Arabic text in an effectual manner.
Conclusion
In the current study, a new DODHBM-ACC model has been developed for automated Arabic corpus classification. The presented DODHBM-ACC model primarily relies on different stages of pre-processing and word2vec word embedding process. In addition, the presented model uses the DHBM-based classification and DOA-based hyperparameter tuning processes. To adjust the hyperparameters of the DHBM technique, the DOA is exploited in this study. The experimental analysis was conducted to establish the supreme performance of the proposed DODHBM-ACC model. The outcomes confirmed the supremacy of the proposed DODHBM-ACC model over other recent approaches. In the future, the feature selection models can be utilized to reduce the computational complexity of the DODHBM-ACC model.
