Nowadays, research of Text Classification (TC) based on graph neural networks (GNNs) is on the rise. Both inductive methods and transductive methods have made significant progress. For transductive methods, the semantic interaction between texts plays a crucial role in the learning of effective text representations. However, it is difficult to perform inductive learning while modeling interactions between texts on the graph. To give a universal solution, we propose the graph neural network based on pre-trained semantic interaction called PaSIG. Firstly, we construct a text-word heterogeneity graph and design an asymmetric structure to ensure one-way message passing from words to the test texts. Meanwhile, we use the context representation capability of the pre-trained language model to construct node features that contain classification semantic information. Afterward, we explore the adaptative aggregation methods with a gated fusion mechanism. Extensive experiments on five datasets have shown the effectiveness of PaSIG, with the accuracy exceeding the baseline by 2.7% on average. While achieving state-of-the-art performance, we have also taken measures of subgraph sampling and intermediate state preservation to achieve fast inference.
