In this study we assessed the efficacy of using website genre composition and design structure information for fake website detection. A genre tree kernel was proposed that creates a rooted tree from the website file directory structure, and labels the tree’s file nodes with genre information. The genre tree kernel was compared against several benchmark kernel and non-kernel methods that utiliz...

A web page is a complex document which can share conventions of several genres, or contain several parts, each belonging to a different genre. To properly address the genre interplay, a recent proposal in automatic web genre identification is multi-label classification. The dominant approach to such classification is to transform one multi-label machine learning problem into several sub-problem...

Shannon (1948) showed that a wide range of practical problems can be reduced to the problem of estimating probability distributions of words and ngrams in text. It has become standard practice in text compression, speech recognition, information retrieval and many other applications of Shannon’s theory to introduce a ‘‘bag-of-words’’ assumption. But obviously, word rates vary from genre to genr...

SThis paper will analyse an introduction to a research article using three approaches to discourseanalysis: Swales’ (1990) Genre Analysis, Hoey’s (1991) bonding theory and Mann and Thompson’s(1986) rhetorical structure theory. Swales looks for writer strategies; Hoey focuses on collocation,while Mann and Thompson look for relations among propositions. However, all three produce<...

THESIS: Genre Effects on the Generalization Inference STUDENT: Wesley A. Stoller DEGREE: Master of Cognitive and Social Processes COLLEGE: Science and Humanities DATE: July, 2010 PAGES: 50 The constructionist theory has emerged as a leading perspective in the field of reading inferences and makes the assumption that readers cannot generate inferences when text is inconsiderate or lacking cohere...

We argue for a systematic analysis of one particular, well structured domain—academic Web pages—with regard to a special class of digital genres: Web genres. For this purpose, we have developed a database-driven system that will ultimately consist of more than 3 000 000 HTML documents, written in German, which are the empirical basis for our research. We introduce the notions of Web genre type ...

We describe a genre of game-like, microworld-style construction kits and an extensible Java framework that models method and structures for generating them. We include descriptions of example kits’ conceptual bases and design principles. We also explain how work with users of the “Kit for Kits” framework addresses needs of people with a broad range of expertise in programming, design, multimedi...
