Abstract

This paper describes an experimental method for automatic text genre recognition based on 45 statistical, lexical, syntactic, positional, and discursive parameters. The suggested method includes: (1) the development of software permitting heterogeneous parameters to be normalized and clustered using the k-means algorithm; (2) the verification of parameters; (3) the selection of the parameters that are the most significant for scientific, newspaper, and artistic texts using two-factor analysis algorithms. Adaptive summarization algorithms have been developed based on these parameters.
