Particle identification (PID) of hadrons plays a crucial role in particle physics experiments, especially for flavor physics and jet tagging. The cluster counting method, which measures the number of primary ionizations in gaseous detectors, represents a promising breakthrough in PID. However, developing an effective reconstruction algorithm for cluster counting remains a major challenge. In this study, we address this challenge by proposing a cluster counting algorithm based on long short-term memory and dynamic graph convolutional neural networks for the CEPC drift chamber. Leveraging Monte Carlo simulated samples, our machine learning-based algorithm surpasses traditional methods. Specifically, it achieves a remarkable 10\% improvement in $K/\pi$ separation for PID performance, which meets the necessary PID requirements for CEPC.
