The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for recognizing a text type, and a device. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: preprocessing a pre-acquired text to obtain a keyword set of the text; calculating an occurrence probability value of each keyword in the keyword set in the text; importing, for the each keyword in the keyword set, the keyword and the occurrence probability value corresponding to the keyword into a pre-established document topic generation model, and determining an occurrence probability value of each topic in the text preset in the document topic generation model; and recognizing a type to which the text belongs based on the occurrence probability value of the each topic in the text. The embodiment improves an accuracy of recognizing the type of the text.
