“…Weakly-supervised text classification (WTC) aims to use various weakly supervised signals to do text classification. Weak supervision signals used by existing methods includes external knowledge base (Gabrilovich et al, 2007;Chang et al, 2008;Song and Roth, 2014;Yin et al, 2019), keywords (Agichtein and Gravano, 2000;Riloff et al, 2003;Kuipers et al, 2006;Tao et al, 2015;Meng et al, 2018Meng et al, , 2019Meng et al, , 2020Mekala and Shang, 2020;Wang et al, 2021;Shen et al, 2021) and heuristics rules (Ratner et al, 2016(Ratner et al, , 2017Badene et al, 2019;Shu et al, 2020). In this paper, we focus on keyword-driven methods.…”
