  | Abstract | We introduce a modular rule-based approach to text categorisation which is more flexible and less time consuming to build than a standard rule-based system because it works with a hierarchical structure and allows for re-usability of rules. When compared to currently more wide-spread machine learning models on a case study, our modular system shows competitive results, and it has the advantage of reducing manual effort over time, since only fewer rules must be written when moving to a (partially) new domain, while annotation of training data is always required in the same amount. |
