If your algorithms are machine learning or statistical in nature, you will quite often have a lot of juice left.
There are quite often parameters for which you simply pick a good enough default during the earlier stage. Here, you might want to double down and check for the best value of those parameters. This idea is sometimes referred to as parameter search, or hyperparameter tuning in machine learning parlance.
You might want to combine the results of one technique with the other in particular ways. For instance, some statistical methods might be very good for finding noun phrases in your text and using them to classify it, while a deep learning method (let's call it DL-LSTM) might be the best suited for text classification of ...
