Cohesion between components of collocations is already acknowledged measurable by means of the Web, and cohesion measurements are used for some applications and extraction of new collocations. Taking a specific cohesion criterion SCI, we performed massive evaluations of collocate cohesion in Oxford Collocations Dictionary. For three groups of modificative collocations (adjectivenoun, adverbad...

Cohesion refers to the relatedness of module components and is a well-understood concept in the procedural paradigm. In the object-oriented paradigm, a concept of class cohesion appears to be necessary. In this paper, we compare two di erent approaches to measuring class cohesion.

Lexical cohesion is a property of text, achieved through lexical-semantic relations between words in text. Most information retrieval systems make use of lexical relations in text only to a limited extent. In this paper we empirically investigate whether the degree of lexical cohesion between the contexts of query terms’ occurrences in a document is related to its relevance to the query. Lexica...

This paper presents a new cohesion metric for a program which is used to analyze the slicing criterion. Based on the value of propose cohesion metric it is decided to perform slicing in a program or not. The propose cohesion metrics is also evaluated analytically against Weyuker’s Property and perform comparison with the existing cohesion metrics of Meyers et al. The results in this paper shows...

Lexical cohesion arises from a chain of lexical items that establish links between sentences in a text. In this paper we propose three different models to capture lexical cohesion for document-level machine translation: (a) a direct reward model where translation hypotheses are rewarded whenever lexical cohesion devices occur in them, (b) a conditional probability model where the appropriatenes...

Two separate studies were carried out with a time interval of one year. The first study had a sample of 50 work teams belonging to different organizations and the second study had a sample of 75 work teams. We used Lindell's index of agreement to estimate th...
