 ### Evaluation based on saliency theory
 
+Saliency theory is a theory to analyse politial text data. In sum, parties tend to write about policies in which they think that they are seen as competent.
+Voters tend to assign advantages in policy competence in line to the assumed ideology of parties. Therefore you can analyze the share of policies parties tend to write about in their manifestos to analyze the party ideology.
+
+In the following table, the predicted and original share of the individual policy domains are shown per manifesto in the test dataset. Overall the pearson correlation between the predicted and original shares is 0.965.
