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...

Introduction. Text genres used by so-called information organizers in the processes of information organization in information systems were explored in this research. Method. The research employed text genre socio-functional analysis. Five genre groups in information organization were distinguished. Every genre group used in information organization is described. Empirical evidence for genre gr...

We develop a model to analyze the determinants and effects of an endogenous imperfect transferability of human capital on natives and immigrants. The model reveals that high migration flows and high skill-transferability are mutually interdependent. Moreover, we show that high mobility within a Federation is necessary to attract highly skilled immigrants into the Federation. We study in how far...

Systematically coarse grained models for complex fluids usually lack chemical and thermodynamic transferability. Efforts to improve transferability require the development of effective potentials with unequivocal physical significance. In this paper, we introduce conditional reversible work (CRW) potentials that describe nonbonded interactions in coarse grained models at the pair level. The met...

This extended abstract provides overview of the genre classification process in our submission for MIREX 2009. First, the scheme of extraction of features and use of them in the process of Musical Genre Classification is explained. In later part dataset and results obtained are described. Keywords—ISMIR, Genre, GMM, Timbre

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on genre-based approaches to writing instruction. However, scant attention has been paid to the use of genre-based scaffolding in the realm of academic writing. Hence, in an attempt to tackle the problems prevalent in academic writing, this study set out to investigate the effect of genre-based scaffolding through sentence start...

this study reports on the findings of a genre teaching course for developing academic writing of a class of efl students in iran. the information report genre was taught in a cyclical way of teaching and learning, which was started from ‘setting the context’ and ‘deconstruction’ of prototype information report genre, and continued with ‘joint construction’, ‘independent construction’, and final...
