1. The document proposes two novel joint models that incorporate word embeddings into an Open Directory Project (ODP)-based classification framework to improve large-scale text classification.
2. The models generate category vectors that represent the semantics of ODP categories using both the explicit ODP taxonomy and implicit word2vec representations.
3. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the models outperform state-of-the-art baselines, validating the efficacy of jointly leveraging explicit and implicit representations for large-scale text classification.
