These findings are used to develop a statistical model for predicting formality, which is evaluated under different feature settings and genres. We apply our model to an investigation of formality in online discussion forums, and present findings c...

In this paper we introduce stochastic models that characterize the structure of typical television program genres. We show how video sequences can be represented using discrete-symbol sequences derived from shot features. We then use these sequences to build HMM and hybrid HMM-SCFG models which are used to automatically classify the sequences into genres. In contrast to previous methods for usi...

We have carried out a series of coverage evaluations of diverse types of parsers using texts from several genres such as newspaper, religious, legal and biomedical texts. We compared the overall coverage of the evaluated parsers and analyzed the differences by text genre. The results indicate that the coverage typically drops several percentage points when parsers are faced with texts on genres...
