A significant part of the meaning of any text lies in the author's style. Different choices of words and syntactic structure convey different nuances in meaning, which must be carried through in any translation if it is to be considered faithful. Up to now, machine translation systems have been unable to do this. Subtleties of style are simply lost to current MT systems. The goal of the present...

Quotations are kernels not just of wisdom but also of beautiful and striking language. While recent studies have characterized the stylistic features of quotations, we characterize the order of stylistic information within quotations. Analyzing a corpus of two-sentence quotations collected from the social network Tumblr, we explore the ways that both low-level features and high-level features t...

We report results of stylistic differences in blogging for gender andagegroupvariation.Theresultsarebasedontwomutually independent features. The first feature is the use of slang words which is a new concept proposed by us for Stylistic study of bloggers. For the second feature, we have analyzed the variation in average length of sentences across various age groups and gender. These features ar...

in this research work, the parameters affecting the settling velocity within the thickeners were studied by introducing an equivalent shape factor. several thickener feed samples of different densities including copper, lead and zinc, and coal were prepared. the settling tests were performed on the samples, and the corresponding settling curves were plotted. using the linear regression analysis...

In this paper we propose a new distance function (rank distance) designed to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of this distance measure to capture stylistic similarity between texts, we tested it in two different machine learning settings: clustering and binary classification.

Texts vary not only by topic, but by style; indeed, often the variation between texts ‘about the same thing’ can be just as noticeable as the variation between texts ‘about different things’. Some facets of this variation are quite easy to detect, and quite predictable when applied to categorization of texts by genre, functional style, or tentatively quality. Making use of such variation in an ...

We describe an approach for generating a wide variety of texts expressing the same content. By treating stylistic features as constraints on the output of a text planner, we explore the interaction between various stylistic features (from punctuation and layout to pronominal reference and discourse structure) and their impact on the form of the resulting text.
