In this paper, we propose a genre taxonomy as a knowledge repository of communicative structures or “typified actions” enacted by organizational members. The Genre taxonomy aims at helping people to make sense of diverse types of communicative actions, and has three features to achieve this objective. First, the genre taxonomy represents the elements of both genres and genre systems, sequences ...

This paper will examine Bakhtin’s theory that a genre’s unity is defined by its chronotope [Bakhtin, M. M. (1981). Forms of time and of the chronotope in the novel. In M. Holquist (Ed.), The dialogic imagination: Four essays (pp. 84–258). Austin: University of Texas Press] and assume that, if this is true, the rhetorical unity within a specific genre could also be defined by its chronotope. Cen...

Existing systems for automatic genre classification follows a supervised framework that extracts genre-specific information from manually-labeled music data and then identifies unknown music data. However, such systems may not be suitable for personal music management, because manually labeling music based on individually-defined genres can be labor intensive and subject to inconsistence from t...

In this paper we would like to contribute to the discussion about genre-enabled applications, currently engaging many genre researchers, by presenting a preliminary assessment of a web add-on devised to augment the result list of general-purpose search engines with genre labels. For this assessment, we use a small collection of web pages manually annotated with genre labels by a large number of...

In this submission, audio features that approximate timbre, rhythm and tempo are used for genre classification and music similarity estimation. This abstract describes the feature set, distance computation method, and classifier model used for the submitted algorithms.

Genre provides a characterization of a document with respect to its form or functional trait. Genre is orthogonal to topic, rendering genre information a powerful filter technology for information seekers in digital libraries. However, an efficient means for genre classification is an open and controversially discussed issue. This paper gives an overview and presents new results related to auto...

Towards Preference Extraction From Negotiation Dialogues This paper presents an NLP based approach for preference expression extraction from negotiation dialogues. We propose a new annotation schema for preferences and dependencies among them and illustrate on two different corpus genres. We then suggest a learning approach that efficiently extracts preference expressions using a combination of...

This paper summarizes the author’s positions on a number of user interface design issues for electronic books (e-books). It proposes a definition and genre classification for e-books, and suggests feature priorities for each genre. It also describes a pattern language approach adopted from architecture to express user interface design guidelines for e-books.
