Text classification using deep learning is rarely applied to tasks with more than ten target classes. This thesis investigates if deep learning can be successfully applied to a task with over 1000 target classes. A pretrained Long Short-Term Memory language model is fine-tuned and used as a base for the classifier. After five days of training, the deep learning model achieves 80.5% accuracy on a publicly available dataset, 9.3% higher than Naive Bayes. With five guesses, the model predicts the correct class 92.2% of the time.
