| Zusammenfassung: | TextTiling is a technique for subdividing texts into multi-paragraph units that represent passages - or subtopics. The discourse cues for identifying major subtopic shifts are patterns of lexical co-occurrence & distribution. The algorithm is fully implemented & is shown to produce segmentation that corresponds well to human judgments of the subtopic boundaries of 12 texts. Multi-paragraph subtopic segmentation should be useful for many text analysis tasks, including information retrieval & summarization. 3 Tables, 6 Figures, 79 References.
