摘要:
A processor implemented method of identifying the text genre of a machine-readable, untagged text. The processor implemented method begins by generating a cue vector from the text, which represents occurrences in the text of a first set of nonstructural, surface cues, which are easily computable. Afterward, the processor determines whether the text is an instance of a first text genre using the cue vector and a weighting vector associated with the first text genre.
摘要:
A method of filtering according to text genre the results of a topic search of a heterogeneous corpus of untagged, machine-readable texts. Because each text of the corpus has a topic and a text genre, the corpus includes multiple text genres and covers multiple topics. According to the method, a processor first searches the corpus for a first multiplicity of texts that have a first topic. Next, the processor identifies a first set of texts of the first multiplicity that are instances of a first text genre and identifies a second set of texts of the first multiplicity that are instances of a second text genre. Finally, the processor identifies to a computer user the first multiplicity of texts in an order based upon the first text genre and second text genre.
