similar to any poetic genre, eulogy of the prophet (pbuh) has progressed through various stages and experienced vicissitudes of history. the genre was first developed by such great poets as ka’b bin zuhayr and hassan ibn th?bit, and continued to survive inspired by the holy qur’an and the prophet’s tradition. the period of decadence (the mongol, mam?l?k, and ottoman empires) was the heyday of t...

As the World Wide Web continues to grow exponentially, researchers and search engine companies continue to look for techniques that will improve the quality of search results. One method that has been suggested is to classify Web pages by their type of genre and use this information to focus a search more narrowly or to rank search results. However, the growth of the World Wide Web has been mat...

this contrastive study, in the first place, examined the generic structure and, in the second place, explored the face theory proposed by arundale (2006) in 140 doctoral dissertation acknowledgments written by native speakers of persian (nsp) and native speakers of english (nse) in 7 disciplines representing soft sciences to find out what discourse genre components writers employ to articulate ...

We analyse the challenges and changing character, production and consumption of the emerging genre fashion film through a genre as ecology approach. This approach accounts for the complexity of various rhetorical practices used within the creative industries, such as fashion. We find that digital mediation compels genre innovation in networked cultures in the mediation of fashion. We examine th...

Online newspapers, having existed on the Internet for a couple of years, are now having similar form and content, starting to shape what could be called a genre. We have analyzed the news sites of nine Swedish local newspapers using a repertoire of genre elements consisting of navigation elements, landmarks, news streams, headlines, search/archives and advertisements. We have also interviewed 1...

In this paper,we present two experiments that use machine learning for automatically classifying web pages by genre. These experiments highlight the influence that genre annotation and genre granularity can have on the accuracy of the classification. From a practical point of view these experiments show that a collection annotated with the criteria of ‘objective sources’ and consistent genre gr...

This paper gives a brief description on the methods adopted for the task of author-profiling as part of the competition PAN 2016 [1]. Author profiling is the task of predicting the author’s age and gender from his/her writing. In this paper, we follow a two-level ensemble approach to tackle the cross-genre author profiling task where training documents and testing documents are from different g...

Broadcast News (BN) speech recognition transcription has attracted research due to the challenges of the task since the mid 1990’s. More recently, research has been moving towards more spontaneous broadcast data, commonly called Broadcast Conversation (BC) speech. Considering the large style difference between BN and BC genres, specific modeling of genres should intuitively result in improved s...

Research in automatic genre classification has been producing increasingly small performance gains in recent years, with the result that some have suggested that such research should be abandoned in favor of more general similarity research. It has been further argued that genre classification is of limited utility as a goal in itself because of the ambiguities and subjectivity inherent to genr...
