Summary: Algorithm which has taken the third place in ``JRS 2012 Data Mining Competition'' among 126 participants is described. The competition was related to the problem of predicting topical classification of scientific publications in a field of biomedicine. The presented algorithm is a combination (blend) of simple classification algorithms: a linear classifier, a k-NN classifier and two SVMs. We build the combination using special estimation matrices. It proves again that combinations have significantly better performance compared to their individual members.
