Information disclosure in annual reports is a mandatory requirement for publicly traded companies in China. The quality of information disclosure will reduce information asymmetry and therefore support market efficiency. Currently, the evaluation of the information disclosure quality in Chinese reports is conducted manually. It remains an untapped field for NLP and text mining community. The go...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The ubiquitous use of the Internet by the public in an attempt to better understand their health care requires the on-line resources written at an appropriate level to maximize comprehension for the average user. The National Institutes of Health and the American Medical Association recommend on-line patient education resources written at a third-to-seventh grade level. W...

Guinaudeau and Strube (2013) introduce a graph based model to compute local entity coherence. We propose a computationally efficient normalization method for these graphs and then evaluate it on three tasks: sentence ordering, summary coherence rating and readability assessment. In all tasks normalization improves the results.

We propose a computationally efficient graph-based approach for local coherence modeling. We evaluate our system on three tasks: sentence ordering, summary coherence rating and readability assessment. The performance is comparable to entity grid based approaches though these rely on a computationally expensive training phase and face data sparsity problems.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the continuity reading sections from 5th grade 2nd year in middle school English textbooks and find improvement measures for future development textbooks. A total 20 (five types each grade) were analyzed quantitatively qualitatively research. For quantitative analysis, Text Inspector used calculate indicators related sentences, vocabulary, syllables, rea...

Background: Patients diagnosed with melanoma frequently search the internet for treatment information including novel and complex immunotherapy. However, health literacy is limited among half of the German population and no assessment of websites on melanoma treatment has been performed so far. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify and assess the most visible websites in German langu...
