When I did something similar a couple years ago for work, I used them to
derive the vectors (because part of the goal was to guess which classification
some unfiled application would fall under & how similar it was to
competitors). It makes less sense to use them in training a model if you only
care about genuine similarity, & not how easy it is to find the similarity.
