Cross-Testing a Genre Classification Model for the Web

The main aim of the experiments described in this chapter is to investigate ways of assessing the robustness and stability of an Automatic Genre Identification (AGI) model for the web. More specifically, a series of comparisons using four genre collections are illustrated and analysed. I call this comparative approach cross-testing.
