We propose a Polylingual text Embedding (PE) strategy, that learns a language independent representation of texts using Neu-ral Networks. We study the effects of bilingual representation learning for text classification and we empirically show that the learned representations achieve better classification performance compared to traditional bag-of-words and other monolingual distributed representations. The performance gains are more significant in the interesting case where only few labeled examples are available for training the classifiers.
