Beyond Repetition: Karl Kraus's "Absolute Satire"

Measuring Lexical Cohesion: Beyond Word Repetition

This paper considers the problem of finding topical shifts in documents and in particular at what information can be leveraged to identify them. Recent research on topical segmentation usually assumes that topical shifts in discourse are signalled by changes in vocabulary. This information, however, is not always a sufficient indicator of a topical shift, especially for certain genres. This pap...

Closer investigation revealed that this collection of poems had been entirely overlooked by traditional scholarship, and that it was neither ch...

Value Flow Graph Analysis with SATIrE

This work discusses implementation of partial redundancy elimination using the value flow graph, a syntactic program representation modeling semantic equivalences. It allows the combination of simple syntactic partial redundancy elimination with a powerful semantic analysis. This yields an optimization that is computationally optimal and simpler than traditional semantic methods. A source-to-so...
