Nous pr{\'e}sentons un mod{\`e}le d{'}apprentissage automatique qui combine mod{\`e}les neuronaux et linguistiques pour traiter les t{\^a}ches de classification dans lesquelles la distribution des {\'e}tiquettes des instances est d{\'e}s{\'e}quilibr{\'e}e. Les performances de ce mod{\`e}le sont mesur{\'e}es {\`a} l{'}aide d{'}exp{\'e}riences men{\'e}es sur les t{\^a}ches de classification de recettes de cuisine de la campagne DEFT 2013 (Grouin et al., 2013).
