description Abstract Massive unstructured geoscience data are buried in geological reports. Geological text classification provides opportunities to leverage this wealth of data for geology and mineralization research. Existing studies of massive geoscience documents/reports have not provided effective classification results for further knowledge discovery and data mining and often lack adequate domain‐specific knowledge. In this paper, we present a novel and unified framework (namely, Dic‐Att‐BiLSTM) that combines domain‐specific knowledge and bidirectional long short‐term memory (BiLSTM) for effective geological text classification. Dic‐Att‐BiLSTM benefits from a matching strategy by incorporating domain‐specific knowledge developed based on geoscience ontology to grasp the linguistic geoscience clues. Furthermore, Dic‐Att‐BiLSTM brings together the capacity of a geoscience dictionary matching approach and an attention mechanism to construct a dictionary attention layer. Finally, the network framework of Dic‐Att‐BiLSTM can utilize domain‐specific knowledge and classify geological text automatically. Experimental verifications are conducted on two constructed data sets, and the results clearly indicate that Dic‐Att‐BiLSTM outperforms other state‐of‐the‐art text classification models.
