As the text databases available to users become larger and more heterogeneous, genre becomes increasingly important for computational linguistics as a complement to topical and structural principles of classification. We propose a theory of genres as bundles of facets, which correlate with various surface cues, and argue that genre detection based on surface cues is as successful as detection b...

This paper presents a method of genre classification using deep neural networks for the AcousticBrainz genre classification task of MediaEval 2017.

I analyze the genre preferences of UK film audiences, applying correspondence analysis to data produced for the BFI’s report Opening Our Eyes on the cultural contribution of film. Although there is a weak correlation between the interactively coded variable ‘gender-age’ and genre, I identify clear patterns of genre preferences that extend the original interpretation of this data showing how vie...

In this paper, we explore the problem of recognizing named entities in microposts, a genre with notoriously little context surrounding each named entity and inconsistent use of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling conventions by authors. In spite of the challenges associated with information extraction from microposts, it remains an increasingly important genre. This paper present...

introduction How genre is understood and configured in analyses of disciplinary texts and discourses is key to understanding the nature of student work in the disciplines. The question of genre is also intimately linked to what we know about expert texts in a discipline. These relationships have been studied for some time in France, first through traditional-formalist frames of text types and m...

In this paper, we propose a new video genre detection using semantic classification with multi-modal features. MPEG-7 audio-visual descriptors are used as multi-modal features. From the low-level multimodal features, genre as high-level semantic meaning is detected by using GINI index in Classification And Regression Tree (CART) algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method is u...

A friend of mine in the UK Paddy Walsh has passed on to me your recent ruminations on “How genre theory saved the world”. I note that Paddy is a former subject English teacher and SNS English consultant, and familiar with work done using genre theory in the UK. As I was one of the genre theorists with whom you exchanged articles in English in Australia a good many years ago, I thought I might r...

It is a sustained concern for Aristophanes studies to assess the political commitments expressed in comedic poet’s dramatic corpus. Though generally synoptic describing his critique of democracy, interpretations Aristophanes’s plays diverge justifying that as affirmative democratic principles. This essay argues considering Aristophanic external principles, on account its assertion demos’s basic...
