These recent multilingual text analysis and mining models have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in several primitive NLP tasks, including cross-lingual text classification (CLC). However, these recent multilingual pre-trained language models still suffer limitations regarding their adaptation for specific task-driven fine-tuning in the context of low-resource languages. Moreover, they also encounter problems related to the capability of preserving the global semantic (e.g., topic, etc.) and long-range relationships between words to better fine-tune and effectively handle the cross-lingual text classification task. To meet these challenges, in this article, we propose a novel topic-driven multi-typed text graph attention\u2013based representation learning method for dealing with the cross-lingual text classification problem called TG-CTC. In the proposed TG-CTC model, we utilize a novel fused topic-driven multi-typed text graph representation to jointly learn the rich-schematic structural and global semantic information of texts to effectively handle the CLC task. More specifically, we integrate the heterogeneous text graph attention network with the neural topic modelling approach to enrich the semantic information of learned textual representations in the context of multiple languages. Extensive experiments in benchmark multilingual datasets showed the effectiveness of the proposed TG-CTC model compared with the contemporary state-of-the-art baselines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3530260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]],"date-time":"2022-04-14T16:27:20Z","timestamp":1649953640000},"page":"1-18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["An Integrated Topic Modelling and Graph Neural Network for Improving Cross-lingual Text Classification"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7291-4168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tham","family":"Vo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Thu Dau Mot University, Binh Duong, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/3276473"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Event graph neural network for opinion target classification of microblog comments","volume":"21","author":"Xiang Y.","year":"2021","unstructured":"Y.
