Text Structure Polish Support based on Paragraph Relationship Evaluation

Abstract

We have many opportunities to write a text. However, relationship among paragraphs are hard to be grasped. Therefore, we focused on top-down structures and bottom-up structures between paragraphs. Top-down means texts that a paragraph including a conclusion or what the writer wants to say comes at first and bottom-up means texts that such a paragraph comes lastly. In this paper, a system that supports polish of text structure is proposed. Relationships between paragraphs are expressed as a tree structure and writers can confirm whether a text is top-down or bottom-up. Users of the system can polish their texts to be top-down or bottom-up by seeing output of the system.
