Cross-Lingual Genre Classification
نویسنده
چکیده
Classifying text genres across languages can bring the benefits of genre classification to the target language without the costs of manual annotation. This article introduces the first approach to this task, which exploits text features that can be considered stable genre predictors across languages. My experiments show this method to perform equally well or better than full text translation combined with monolingual classification, while requiring fewer resources.

Robust Cross-Lingual Genre Classification through Comparable Corpora
Classification of texts by genre can benefit applications in Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval. However, a mono-lingual approach requires large amounts of labeled texts in the target language. Work reported here shows that the benefits of genre classification can be extended to other languages through cross-lingual methods. Comparable corpora – here taken to be collections o...

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...

متن کاملDeep Level Lexical Features for Cross-lingual Authorship Attribution
Crosslingual document classification aims to classify documents written in different languages that share a common genre, topic or author. Knowledge-based methods and others based on machine translation deliver state-of-the-art classification accuracy, however because of their reliance on external resources, poorly resourced languages present a challenge for these type of methods. In this paper...
