Research in automatic genre classification has been producing increasingly small performance gains in recent years, with the result that some have suggested that such research should be abandoned in favor of more general similarity research. It has been further argued that genre classification is of limited utility as a goal in itself because of the ambiguities and subjectivity inherent to genr...

In this study we assessed the efficacy of using website genre composition and design structure information for fake website detection. A genre tree kernel was proposed that creates a rooted tree from the website file directory structure, and labels the tree’s file nodes with genre information. The genre tree kernel was compared against several benchmark kernel and non-kernel methods that utiliz...

This thesis focuses on the role of design patterns in the design of the online newspaper genre. The research question put forth here is: How can design patterns be used to improve the online newspaper design process? Genre theory was applied to revile the structure and visual pattern of online newspaper design in an analysis of 85 Swedish online newspapers. Based on the results from the genre a...

A web page is a complex document which can share conventions of several genres, or contain several parts, each belonging to a different genre. To properly address the genre interplay, a recent proposal in automatic web genre identification is multi-label classification. The dominant approach to such classification is to transform one multi-label machine learning problem into several sub-problem...

We argue for a systematic analysis of one particular, well structured domain—academic Web pages—with regard to a special class of digital genres: Web genres. For this purpose, we have developed a database-driven system that will ultimately consist of more than 3 000 000 HTML documents, written in German, which are the empirical basis for our research. We introduce the notions of Web genre type ...

It was once believed that the ancients invented and perfected certain genres and that the works they left might serve as models for later writers. Today belief in ideal patterns is a distant memory, and our interest in genre takes other forms. Classicists, by engaging with the specific problems presented by Greek and Roman literature and with the speculative discourse taking place throughout li...

Part 2’s focus on empirical research—research into how genres are learned, how they function in particular contexts, and how they carry out communicative goals and reflect/reinforce ideologies—illustrates how research can inform our practices as writing teachers. Research into genre learning and acquisition has provided teachers with useful methods for situating learning and for fostering meta-...

Purpose: This article introduces the Special Issue on Genres of Digital Documents. While there are many definitions of genre, most include consideration of the intended communicative purpose, form and sometimes expected content of a document. Most also include the notion of social acceptance, that a document is of a particular genre to the extent that it is recognized as such within a given dis...

Purpose – To introduce the special issue on “Genres of digital documents.” While there are many definitions of genre, most include consideration of the intended communicative purpose, form and sometimes expected content of a document. Most also include the notion of social acceptance, that a document is of a particular genre to the extent that it is recognized as such within a given discourse c...

This report describes classification methods that recognize the genres of music using both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. The five genres, classical(C), EDM(E), hip-hop(H), jazz(J) and rock(R), were examined and classified. As a feature selection method, discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converted the raw wave signals of each song into the signal amplitude ordered by their freq...
