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.

With the increase of the number of web pages, it is very difficult to find wanted information easily and quickly out of thousands of web pages retrieved by a search engine. To solve this problem, many researches propose to classify documents according to their genre, which is another criteria to classify documents different from the topic. Most of these works assign a document to only one genre...

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.

Cross-lingual methods can bring the benefits of genre classification to languages which lack genre-annotated training data. However, prior work in this field has been evaluated on coarse genres only. To predict fine-grained genres across languages, we propose a label propagation method, which combines separate sets of features. The results are promising, as the approach outperforms most baselin...
