Lexical Cohesion

This article outlines a new method of locating discourse boundaries based on lexical cohesion and a graphical technique called dotplotting. The application of dot- plotting to discourse segmentation can be …...

A method is presented for segmenting text into subtopic areas. The proportion of related pairwise words is calculated between adjacent windows of text to determine their lexical similarity. The lexical …...

This paper proposes a method to over- come the drawbacks of WordNet when applied to information retrieval by com- plementing it with Roget's thesaurus and corpus-derived thesauri. Words and rela- …...

We argue that in general, the analysis of lexical co- hesion factors in a document can drive a summarizer, as well as enable other content characterization tasks. More narrowly, this …...

We present in this paper a method for achiev- ing in an integrated way two tasks of topic analysis: segmentation and link detection. This method combines word repetition and the …...

We present a domain-independent topic segmentation algorithm for multi-party speech. Our feature-based algorithm com- bines knowledge about content using a text-based algorithm as a feature and about form using linguistic …...

In this paper, we investigate the prob- lem of automatically predicting segment boundaries in spoken multiparty dialogue. We extend prior work in two ways. We first apply approaches that have …...

This paper describes a novel Bayesian ap- proach to unsupervised topic segmentation. Unsupervised systems for this task are driven by lexical cohesion: the tendency of well- formed segments to induce …...

This paper presents a novel unsupervised method for hierarchical topic segmentation. Lexical cohesion – the workhorse of unsu- pervised linear segmentation – is treated as a multi-scale phenomenon, and formalized …...

AbstractWe have compiled a corpus of 80 Dutch texts from expository and persuasive genres, which we annotated for rhetorical and genre-specific discourse structure, and lexical cohesion with the goal of …...

Lexical Cohesion is a commonly studied lin- guistic feature as it is easily identified from the surface of a text. However, the purposes for studying lexical cohesion are varied, and …...

Topic segmentation traditionally relies on lexical cohesion measured through word re-occurrences to output a dense segmen- tation, either linear or hierarchical. In this paper, a novel organization of the topical …...

AbstractDocument-level machine translation focuses on the translation of entire documents from a source to a target language. It is widely regarded as a challenging task since the translation of the …...

AbstractRecent work in neural machine translation has demonstrated both the necessity and feasibility of using inter-sentential context, context from sentences other than those currently being translated. However, while many current …...
