The study presented in this paper explores the current state of genre evolution on the web through web users’ perception. More precisely, it explores the perception of genres when users are faced not only with prototypical genre exemplars but also with hybrid or individualized web pages, and interpret the subjects’ perception in term of genre evolution Although this exploration is partial (23 l...

Considering the curriculum language learners are face with, one can claim that almost all language students in Iran are taught these features in their academic settings including linguistic courses. Yet, there are some aspects of language which a...

As the text databases available to users become larger and more heterogeneous, genre becomes increasingly important for computational linguistics as a complement to topical and structural principles of classification. We propose a theory of genres as bundles of facets, which correlate with various surface cues, and argue that genre detection based on surface cues is as successful as detection b...

This paper presents a method of genre classification using deep neural networks for the AcousticBrainz genre classification task of MediaEval 2017.

I analyze the genre preferences of UK film audiences, applying correspondence analysis to data produced for the BFI’s report Opening Our Eyes on the cultural contribution of film. Although there is a weak correlation between the interactively coded variable ‘gender-age’ and genre, I identify clear patterns of genre preferences that extend the original interpretation of this data showing how vie...

In this paper, we explore the problem of recognizing named entities in microposts, a genre with notoriously little context surrounding each named entity and inconsistent use of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling conventions by authors. In spite of the challenges associated with information extraction from microposts, it remains an increasingly important genre. This paper present...
