The media have a key role in communicating advances in medicine to the general public, yet the accuracy of medical journalism is an under-researched area. This project adapted an established monitoring instrument to analyse all identified news reports (n = 312) on a single medical research paper: a meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Cancer which showed a modest link between proce...

The article tests this idea using data collected via a webadministered behavior-tracking study with subjects recruited from the readership of 2 partisan online news sites (N = 727). The resu...

Topic segmentation, which aims to fmd the boundaries between topic blocks in a text, is an important task for semantic analysis of texts. Although different solutions have been proposed for the task, many limitations and difficulties exist in the approaches. In particular most of the methods do not work well for such case as short texts, internet news and student's writings. In this paper, we f...
