This article 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 by deeper structural properties.
Abstract
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 based on deeper structural properties.

Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis

TL;DR: This survey covers techniques and approaches that promise to directly enable opinion-oriented information-seeking systems and focuses on methods that seek to address the new challenges raised by sentiment-aware applications, as compared to those that are already present in more traditional fact-based analysis.

Thumbs up? Sentiment Classification using Machine Learning Techniques

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of classifying documents not by topic, but by overall sentiment, e.g., determining whether a review is positive or negative, and concludes by examining factors that make the sentiment classification problem more challenging.

Generalized Linear Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the analysis of variance is given for these models using log- likelihoods, illustrated by examples relating to four distributions; the Normal, Binomial (probit analysis, etc.), Poisson (contingency tables), and gamma (variance components).

Backpropagation: the basic theory

TL;DR: Since the publication of the PDP volumes in 1986, learning by backpropagation has become the most popular method of training neural networks because of the underlying simplicity and relative power of the algorithm.
