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...

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...

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...
