Document classification is an important technology in modern information society. In recent years, distributed representation (DR) which embeds semantic relationships of words into vectors has attracted attention and the methods applying DR to document classification have been reported. DR can be generated mainly by using a tool called Word2Vec. Word2Vec has the learning structure using a neural network, and we use the weights on the input side as DR. However, Word2Vec learns different characteristic weights on the output side from DR, which is not focused on and not commonly used. In this paper, we propose a document classification method by ensemble learning using DR and the output side weights and suggest the usefulness on the proposed method.
