State-of-the-Art on Automatic Genre Identification

The aim of this survey is to collect in one single document a list and a short description of all the published works on automatic genre identification. Genre is an important categorical concept and many research communities are trying to exploit it for a range of purposes: document management; the automatic generation of genre specific documents; information filtering; and so on. This survey was carried out only in a restricted research field, automatic genre identification/classification.
