Every text has at least one topic and at least one genre. Evidence for a text’s topic and genre comes, in part, from its lexical and syntactic features—features used in both Automatic Topic Classification and Automatic Genre Classification (AGC). Because an ideal AGC system should be stable in the face of changes in topic distribution, we assess five previously published AGC methods with respec...

The concept of genre has already been used to analyse organizational communication. It has also been recently used to examine persistent conversations and patterns of thinking. It may there be an opportunity to apply the genre perspective to Electronic Meeting Systems (EMS) as well. This paper describes how we analysed meetings using the concept of communication genre and draws several conseque...

This paper presents a higher level representation for videos aiming at video genre retrieval. In video genre retrieval, there is a challenge that videos may comprise multiple categories, for instance, news videos may be composed of sports, documentary, and action. Therefore, it is interesting to encode the distribution of such genres in a compact and effective manner. We propose to create a vis...

This essay engages with genre as a theory and how it can be used as a framework to determine whether Islamicate or the Muslim films can be called a genre by themselves, simply by their engagement with and representation of the Muslim culture or practice. This has been done drawing upon the influence of Hollywood in genre theory and arguments surrounding the feasibility / possibility of categori...

Contemporary methods for assessing information security risks have adopted mainly technical views on information and technology assets. Organizational dynamics of information management and knowledge sharing have gained less attention. This article outlines a new, genre-based, approach to information security risk assessment in order to orientate toward organizationand knowledge-centric identif...

Until now, it is still unclear which set of features produces the best result in automatic genre classification on the web. Therefore, in the first set of experiments, we compared a wide range of contentbased features which are extracted from the data appearing within the web pages. The results show that lexical features such as word unigrams and character n-grams have more discriminative power...

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...
