The exportation of modern novel from European languages to other literatures has long been the object of study and has been, most recently, evoked in discussions of World Literature. The introduction of modern novel into the Persian literary system through translation occurred about the turn of the twentieth century. The genre was unprecedented in Persian and the concept of adabiyat wa...

If science fiction is a genre, then attempts to think about the nature of science fiction will be affected by one’s understanding of what genres are. I shall examine two approaches to genre, one (genres as regions of conceptual space) dominant but inadequate, the other (genres as historical particulars) better, but only occasionally making itself seen. I shall then discuss several important, in...

The current study used event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and behavioral measures to examine effects of genre awareness on sentence processing and evaluation. We hypothesized that genre awareness modulates effects of genre-typical manipulations. We manipulated instructions between participants, either specifying a genre (poetry) or not (neutral). Sentences contained genre-typical variations ...

Introduction. Genre analysis is an approach to study communication patterns and thus it can be applied to the specific context of meetings. This research investigates the use of genre analysis in the design of electronic meeting systems. Background. The primary goal of genre analysis is to understand how virtual communities use digital communication to collaborate. This knowledge is fundamental...

This paper contributes to a facet from the area of Web Information Retrieval that has recently received much attention: The satisfaction of a user’s personal information need with respect to text type, presentation type, or information quality. We imply that such properties can be quantified for all kinds of Web documents, and we subsume them under the term “Web genre” or “genre”. Recent survey...

This paper explores the value of FreeDB as a source of genre and music similarity information. FreeDB is a public, dynamic, uncurated database for identifying and labeling CDs with album, song, artist and genre information. One quality of FreeDB is that there is high variance in, e.g., the genre labels assigned to a particular disc. We investigate here the ability to use these genre labels to p...

This paper presents an automatic genre classification model that implements a flexible classification scheme, i.e. a scheme capable of performing zero-, oneor multi-genre assignment. I suggest that this scheme is more appropriate for genres on the web, because many web pages have often more than one genre or none at all. The model that I propose relies on the distinction between the concepts of...

This paper examines genre classification of documents and its role in enabling the effective automated management of digital documents by digital libraries and other repositories. We have previously presented genre classification as a valuable step toward achieving automated extraction of descriptive metadata for digital material. Here, we present results from experiments using human labellers,...

We approach the general problem of machineprinted document genre classification using contentfree layout structure analysis. Document genre is determined from the layout structure detected from scanned binary images of the document pages, using no OCR results and minimal a priori knowledge of document logical structures. Our approach uses attributed relational graphs (ARGs) to represent the lay...

Document genres help readers orient themselves when they approach a new document. Once they know a document’s genre, they understand what the document is likely to contain and how they probably can navigate the document. User interfaces also fall into genres that allow users to orient themselves. For instance, Xerox introduced the powerful desktop genre, which facilitated user insight when they...
