To aid fellow scholars with the systematic study of such a large and dynamic set of unstructured data, we set out to employ a text categorization classifier trained on similar domains (like existing manually annotated sentences from political manifestos) and use it to classify press briefings about the pandemic in a more effective and scalable way. ./cache/cord-175846-aguwenwo.txt ./txt/cord-175846-aguwenwo.txt
