Automatic Readability Classification of Crowd-Sourced Data based on Linguistic and Information-Theoretic Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a classifier of text readability based on information-theoretic features. The classifier was developed based on a linguistic approach to readability that explores lexical, syntactic and semantic features. For this evaluation we extracted a corpus of 645 articles from Wikipedia together with their quality judgments. We show that information-theoretic features perform as well as their linguistic counterparts even if we explore several linguistic levels at once.

متن کاملAll Mixed Up? Finding the Optimal Feature Set for General Readability Prediction and Its Application to English and Dutch
Readability research has a long and rich tradition, but there has been too little focus on general readability prediction without targeting a specific audience or text genre. Moreover, although NLP-inspired research has focused on adding more complex readability features, there is still no consensus on which features contribute most to the prediction. In this article, we investigate in close de...
متن کاملDeveloping a New Method in Object Based Classification to Updating Large Scale Maps with Emphasis on Building Feature
According to the cities expansion, updating urban maps for urban planning is important and its effectiveness is depend on the information extraction / change detection accuracy. Information extraction methods are divided into two groups, including Pixel-Based (PB) and Object-Based (OB). OB analysis has overcome the limitations of PB analysis (producing salt-pepper results and features with hole...
متن کاملAutomatic classification of normal and abnormal cardiac sounds by combining features based on wavelet transform and capstral coefficients extracted from PCG signals (Research Article)
Cardiac sounds are produced by the mechanical activities of the heart and provide useful information about the function of the heart valves. Due to the transient and unstable nature of the heart's sound and the limitation of the human hearing system, it is difficult to categorize heart sound signals based on what is heard from a stethoscope. Therefore, providing an automated algorithm for prima...
