This paper describes a new approach to defining genre. A model is presented that defines genre based on likability ratings rather than features of the content itself. By collecting hundreds of thousands of likability ratings, and incorporating these into a topic model, one can create genre categories that are interesting and intuitively plausible. Moreover, we give evidence that likability-base...

Even though aesthetics and affordances are two important factors based on which designers provide effective ways of interaction through their artifacts, there is no study or theoretical model that relates these two aspects of design. We suggest a theoretical explanation that relates the underlying functionality of aesthetics, in particular, of interaction aesthetics and of affordances in the de...

Aesthetics plays a major role in real design. To date, aesthetics is mostly ignored in studies dealing with computational design support systems. Probably, the main reason for this omission is that aesthetics is tightly associated with art which is perceived to be beyond the capabilities of computational techniques. The paper outlines a model for the incorporation of aesthetic judgment in desig...

Based on a contrastive approach that compares the argumentative genre of editorial with the narrative genre of personal narrative across two production modes, single-authored data and data elicited in an editing-based task, this paper examines the impact of genre on the realizations of discourse relations, paying particular attention to the argumentative genre and its preferential realizations ...
