Topic Segmentation

چکیده
This chapter discusses the task of topic segmentation: automatically dividing single long recordings or transcripts into shorter, topically coherent segments. First, we look at the task itself, the applications which require it, and some ways to evaluate accuracy. We then explain the most influential approaches – generative and discriminative, supervised and unsupervised – and discuss their application in particular domains.

A Modified Character Segmentation Algorithm for Farsi Printed Text Using Upper Contour Labelling
In this paper, a modified segmentation algorithm for printed Farsi words is presented. This algorithm is based on a previous work by Azmi that uses the conditional labeling of the upper contour to find the segmentation points. The main objective is to improve the segmentation results for low quality prints. To achieve this, various modifications on local baseline detection, contour labeling an...

متن کاملTraffic Scene Analysis using Hierarchical Sparse Topical Coding
Analyzing motion patterns in traffic videos can be exploited directly to generate high-level descriptions of the video contents. Such descriptions may further be employed in different traffic applications such as traffic phase detection and abnormal event detection. One of the most recent and successful unsupervised methods for complex traffic scene analysis is based on topic models. In this pa...
متن کاملFinding document topics for improving topic segmentation
Topic segmentation and identification are often tackled as separate problems whereas they are both part of topic analysis. In this article, we study how topic identification can help to improve a topic segmenter based on word reiteration. We first present an unsupervised method for discovering the topics of a text. Then, we detail how these topics are used by segmentation for finding topical si...
متن کاملApplication of Topic Segmentation in Audiovisual Information Retrieval
Segmentation into topically coherent segments is one of the crucial points in information retrieval (IR). Suitable segmentation may improve the results of IR system and help users to find relevant passages faster. Segmentation is especially important in audiovisual recordings, in which the navigation is difficult. We present several methods used for topic segmentation, based on textual, audio a...
متن کاملTopic Segmentation in a Media Watch System
This paper describes our on-going work on the topic segmentation module of a media watch system. The current version explores not only the typical structure of a broadcast news show, but also its contents, which are automatically produced by the speech recognition module, and the topic indexation module. The performance of the automatic topic segmentation module was compared with the manual seg...
