Existing systems for automatic genre classification follows a supervised framework that extracts genre-specific information from manually-labeled music data and then identifies unknown music data. However, such systems may not be suitable for personal music management, because manually labeling music based on individually-defined genres can be labor intensive and subject to inconsistence from t...

In this paper we would like to contribute to the discussion about genre-enabled applications, currently engaging many genre researchers, by presenting a preliminary assessment of a web add-on devised to augment the result list of general-purpose search engines with genre labels. For this assessment, we use a small collection of web pages manually annotated with genre labels by a large number of...

In this paper, we propose an implementable characterization of genre suitable for automatic genre identification of web pages. This characterization is implemented as an inferential model based on a modified version of Bayes’ theorem. Such a model can deal with genre hybridism and individualization, two important forces behind genre evolution. Results show that this approach is effective and is...

The transferability problem—whether the results of an experiment will transfer to a treatment population—affects not only Randomized Controlled Trials but any type of study. The problem for any given type of study can also, potentially, be addressed to some degree through many different types of study. The transferability problem for a given RCT can be investigated further through another RCT, ...

The aim of the present research was to test the transferability of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers developed in two Uredinales species to Hemileia vastatrix, coffee rust. The development of efficient techniques for the identification of H. vastatrix isolates is imperative, given the continuous development of new races. The transferability of 25 SSR markers developed in the related Uredinal...

Genre classification means to discriminate between documents by means of their form, their style, or their targeted audience. Put another way, genre classification is orthogonal to a classification based on the documents’ contents. While most of the existing investigations of an automated genre classification are based on news articles corpora, the idea here is applied to arbitrary Web pages. W...

The game genre is an important feature for organizing, accessing and developing video games; however the choice of the genre during the process of video games making requires expertise and thorough study which can sometimes lead to unexpected issues due to the bad choice that can affect the final result. In this paper, we will present the application of analytic hierarchical process method “AHP...

Rhetoricians since Aristotle have attempted to classify communications or documents into categories or “genres” with similar form, topic or purpose. This article surveys research on genre as it relates to Internet documents. The article briefly presents the concept of genre in general, and then reviews the evolution and emergence of genres on the Internet. It concludes with an examination of th...

In his article, "How is a Genre Created? Five Combinatory Hypotheses," Johan F. Hoorn discusses that in genre theory, the creation of a genre is usually envisioned as a complex selection procedure in which several factors play an equivocal role. First, he advances that genre usually is investigated at the level of the phenomenon. For instance, questions may drawn on the effects of social status...
