Text complexity of reading comprehension passages in the national matriculation english test in China: The development from 1996 to 2020 Yu, Xiaoli (2021-10-01) This study examined the development of text complexity for the past 25 years of reading comprehension passages in the National Matriculation English Test (NMET) in China. Text complexity of 206 reading passages at lexical, syntactic, and discourse levels has been measured longitudinally and compared across the years. The natural language processing tools used in the study included TAALES, TAALED, TAASSC, and TAACO. To compare the differences across the years at various levels of text complexity, ANOVA and M...
Text Summarization of Turkish Texts using Latent Semantic Analysis Özsoy, Makbule Gülçin; Çiçekli, İlyas; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2010-08-27)
Text classification in Turkish marketing domain and context-sensitive ad distribution Engin, Melih; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Online advertising has a continuously increasing popularity. Target audience of this new advertising method is huge. Additionally, there is another rapidly growing and crowded group related to internet advertising that consists of web publishers.

Text Classification in the Turkish Marketing Domain for Context Sensitive Ad Distribution Engin, Melih; Can, Tolga (2009-09-16) In this paper, we construct and compare several feature extraction approaches in order to find a better solution for classification of Turkish web documents in the marketing domain. We produce our feature extraction techniques using characteristics of the Turkish language, structures of web documents and online content in the marketing domain. We form datasets in different feature spaces and we apply several Support Vector Machine (SVM) configurations on these datasets. We conduct our study considering the ...
Text reading in English as a second language: Evidence from the Multilingual Eye-Movements Corpus Kuperman, Victor; et. al. (2022-03-01) Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called MECO L2 (Multilingual Eye Movements Corpus), a rich behavioral eye-tracking record of text reading in English as an L2 among 543 university student speakers of 12 different L1s. MECO L2 includes a test battery of com...
