The invention discloses an article processing method and device based on the column theme. The method comprises the steps of performing word segmentation on an article to be judged, and obtaining a word segmentation result; screening out word segmentation words belonging to a pre-constructed column theme word bank from the word segmentation result, and calculating the word frequency of the word segmentation words belonging to the pre-constructed column theme word bank in the article to be judged and the ratio of the word segmentation words to all word segmentation words; judging whether the word frequency of the word segmentation words belonging to the pre-constructed column theme word bank in the article to be judged and the ratio of the word segmentation words to all the word segmentation words meet preset conditions or not, and obtaining a judgment result; according to the judgment result, determining whether the article to be judged conforms to the column theme or not. The technical problem that passiveness and hysteresis quality are generated when the problem that the article in the column is not related to the column theme is processed in the prior art is solved.
