Text representation plays a crucial role in classical text mining, where the primary focus was on static text. Nevertheless, well-studied static text representations including TFIDF are not optimized for non-stationary streams of information such as news, discussion board messages, and blogs. We therefore introduce a new temporal representation for text streams based on bursty features. Our bur...

We demonstrate an expanded procedure for assessing drug-label comprehension. Innovations include a pretest of drug preconceptions, verbal ability and label attentiveness measures, a label-scanning task, a free-recall test, category-clustering measures, and preconception-change scores. In total, 55 female and 39 male undergraduates read a facsimile Drug Facts Label for aspirin, a Cohesive-Prose ...

We demonstrate that the embedded-atom method and related potentials predict many dimensionless properties of simple metals to depend predominantly on a single coefficient μ, which typically lies between 0.3 and 0.45. Among other relations presented in this work, we find that [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] hold within 25% accuracy and also find a linear depende...

We discuss an automatic method for the construction of hypertext links within and between newspaper articles. The method comprises three steps: determining the lexical chains in a text, building links between the paragraphs of articles, and building links between articles. Lexical chains capture the semantic relations between words that occur throughout a text. Each chain is a set of related wo...

Most linguists concerned with cohesion have focused on the linear relations between sentences. This study is an attempt to extend the notion of cohesion beyond the sentence level, by viewing it as a requirement of the text for connectedness between segments larger than a sentence, such as paragraphs or whole chapters. Of the various concatenation devices listed in Danes( 1974), the most element...

SynDiKATe comprises a family of text understanding systems for automatically acquiring knowledge from real-world texts, viz. information technology test reports and medical nding reports. Their content is transformed to formal representation structures which constitute corresponding text knowledge bases. SynDiKATe's architecture integrates requirements from the analysis of single sentences, as ...

Mediation of Cohesive Clues in Simultaneous Interpreting: A Perspective of Interactive Embodiment and Mental Coherence Gao Wei Heriot-Watt University Abstract Based on interactive embodiment and mental coherence of cognitive linguistics (CL) (Lakoff1987, 1999; Langacker 2000, Zwaan2000, Wang Yin 2006) and also Relevance Theory (RT) (Sperber and Wilson 1986, 1995), this paper aims to reveal how ...

abstractthis study focused mainly on the shifts of the grammatical cohesion in texts translated from english into persian. it aimed to identify the grammatical cohesive devices (gcds) in st and tt separately, based on halliday and hassn's model (1976), determine the number of occurrences of gcds in two texts and finally, illustrate types of shifts of grammatical cohesion and strategies used in ...

This study draws on Systemic Functional Linguistics and Cognitive Theory to explore genre blending in Amos 5. It demonstrates that 5 is both a plausibly cohesive coherent text, the text made up of sub-sections identifiably distinct genres prophetic literature.

We demonstrate TextRank – a system for unsupervised extractive summarization that relies on the application of iterative graphbased ranking algorithms to graphs encoding the cohesive structure of a text. An important characteristic of the system is that it does not rely on any language-specific knowledge resources or any manually constructed training data, and thus it is highly portable to new ...
