We present a mathematically rigorous framework for modeling the statistical behavior of lexical chains for automatic story segmentation of broadcast news audio. Lexical chains were first proposed in [1] to connect related terms within a story, as an embodiment of lexical cohesion. The vocabulary within a story tends to be cohesive, while a change in the vocabulary distribution tends to signify ...

We introduce the relative rank differential statistic which is a non-parametric approach to document and dialog analysis based on word frequency rank-statistics. We also present a simple method to establish semantic saliency in dialog, documents, and dialog segments using these word frequency rank statistics. Applications of our technique include the dynamic tracking of topic and semantic evolu...
