A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computer processing system are provided for word embedding. The method includes receiving, by a processor device, a word embedding matrix. The method further includes generating, by a processor device, an average pooling vector and a max pooling vector, based on the word embedding matrix. The method also includes generating, by the processor device, a prediction by applying a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) to the average pooling vector and the max pooling vector.
