In particular, we propose to use a semantic embed- ding of label and document words and base the prediction of previously unseen labels on the similarity between the label name and the document words in this em- bedding. Experiments on three textual datasets across various domains show that even such a simple technique yields considerable performance improvements over a simple uninformed baseline.} }
