With the continuous development of the internet and big data, modernization and informatization are rapidly being realized in the agricultural field. In this line, the volume of agricultural news is also increasing. This explosion of agricultural news has made accurate access to agricultural news difficult, and the spread of news about some agricultural technologies has slowed down, resulting in certain hindrance to the development of agriculture. To address this problem, we apply NLP to agricultural news texts to classify the agricultural news, in order to ultimately improve the efficiency of agricultural news dissemination. We propose a classification model based on ERNIE + DPCNN, ERNIE, EGC, and Word2Vec + TextCNN as sub-models for Chinese short-agriculture text classification (E3W), utilizing the GreedySoup weighting strategy and multi-model combination; specifically, E3W consists of four sub-models, the output of which is processed using the GreedySoup weighting strategy. In the E3W model, we divide the classification process into two steps: in the first step, the text is passed through the four independent sub-models to obtain an initial classification result given by each sub-model; in the second step, the model considers the relationship between the initial classification result and the sub-models, and assigns weights to this initial classification result. The final category with the highest weight is used as the output of E3W. To fully evaluate the effectiveness of the E3W model, the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score are used as evaluation metrics in this paper. We conduct multiple sets of comparative experiments on a self-constructed agricultural data set, comparing E3W and its sub-models, as well as performing ablation experiments. The results demonstrate that the E3W model can improve the average accuracy by 1.02%, the average precision by 1.62%, the average recall by 1.21%, and the average F1-score by 1.02%. Overall, E3W can achieve state-of-the-art performance in Chinese agricultural news classification.

Nowadays, tourists increasingly prefer to check the reviews of attractions before traveling to decide whether to visit them or not. To respond to the change in the way tourists choose attractions, it is important to classify the reviews of attractions with high precision. In addition, more and more tourists like to use emojis to express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the attractions. In this paper, we built a dataset for Chinese attraction evaluation incorporating emojis (CAEIE) and proposed an explicitly n-gram masking method to enhance the integration of coarse-grained information into a pre-training (ERNIE-Gram) and Text Graph Convolutional Network (textGCN) (E2G) model to classify the dataset with a high accuracy. The E2G preprocesses the text and feeds it to ERNIE-Gram and TextGCN. ERNIE-Gram was trained using its unique mask mechanism to obtain the final probabilities. TextGCN used the dataset to construct heterogeneous graphs with comment text and words, which were trained to obtain a representation of the document output category probabilities. The two probabilities were calculated to obtain the final results. To demonstrate the validity of the E2G model, this paper was compared with advanced models. After experiments, it was shown that E2G had a good classification effect on the CAEIE dataset, and the accuracy of classification was up to 97.37%. Furthermore, the accuracy of E2G was 1.37% and 1.35% ahead of ERNIE-Gram and TextGCN, respectively. In addition, two sets of comparison experiments were conducted to verify the performance of TextGCN and TextGAT on the CAEIE dataset. The final results showed that ERNIE and ERNIE-Gram combined TextGCN and TextGAT, respectively, and TextGCN performed 1.6% and 2.15% ahead. This paper compared the effects of eight activation functions on the second layer of the TextGCN and the activation-function-rectified linear unit 6 (RELU6) with the best results based on experiments.

Grain product price fluctuations affect the input of production factors and impact national food security. Under the influence of complex factors, such as spatial-temporal influencing factors, price correlation, and market diversity, it is increasingly important to improve the accuracy of grain product price prediction for agricultural sustainable development. Therefore, successful prediction of the agricultural product plays a vital role in the government’s market regulation and the stability of national food security. In this paper, the price of corn in Sichuan Province is taken as an example. Firstly, the apriori algorithm was used to search for the spatial-temporal influencing factors of price changes. Secondly, the Attention Mechanism Algorithm, Long Short-term Memory (LSTM), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and Back Propagation (BP) Neural Network models were combined into the AttLSTM-ARIMA-BP model to predict the accurate price. Compared with the other seven models, the AttLSTM-ARIMA-BP model achieves the best prediction effect and possesses the strongest robustness, which improves the accuracy of price forecasting in complex environments and makes the application to other fields possible.
