Musical genres are categorical labels created by humans to characterize pieces of music. A musical genre is characterized by the common characteristics shared by its members. These characteristics typically are related to the instrumentation, rhythmic structure, and harmonic content of the music. Genre hierarchies are commonly used to structure the large collections of music available on the We...

Genre recognition is a critical facet of text comprehension. In this study, we assess the minimum number of words in a sentence necessary for genre recognition to occur. Using corpora of Narrative, History, and Science sentences, we found that three experts in discourse psychology (demonstrating high agreement) accurately recognized the genre of over 80% of the sentences. This recognition gener...

While large data dependent techniques have made advances in between-genre classification, the identification of subtypes within a genre has largely been overlooked. In this paper, we approach automatic classification of within-genre Bundeli folk music into its subgenres; Gaari, Rai and Phag. Bundeli, which is a dominant dialect spoken in a large belt of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh has a ri...

We regard a path as a train moving on a graph. A graph G is called n-transferable if any path of length n can be moved to any other such path by several steps. We will show that every planar graph with minimum degree at least three is at most 10 transferable.

We discuss the issues of resolving the information-retrieval problem in large digital collections through the identification and use of document genres. Explicit identification of genre seems particularly important for such collections because any search usually retrieves documents with a diversity of genres that are undifferentiated by obvious clues as to their identity. Also, because most gen...

We extend Jendrol’ and Skupień’s results about the local structure of maps on the 2-sphere: In this paper we show that if a polyhedral map G on a surface M of Euler characteristic χ(M) ≤ 0 has more than 126|χ(M)| vertices, then G has a vertex with ”nearly” non-negative combinatorial curvature. As a corollary of this, we can deduce that path transferability of such graphs are at most 12. keyword...

Fantastic Realism is a genre which remind us of Russia and its great writer Dostoevsky. This genre has been developed in Iran among Iranian writers who have been familiar with the books of world literature, especially Russian literature. Fantastic Realism employs and combines reality and imagination, and while it concerns the reality related to human beings, it pictures that kind of reality whi...

Participants were 34 undergraduate students majoring in textile engineering at an Iranian state university, and they had enrolled in the English for specific academic purposes course. Participants were taught how to write 4 types of business letters, highlighting the p...
