• AKA: Paragraph Segmentation, Paragraph Boundary Detection.
• Context:
  • Input: A Text Item.
  • output: A Segmented Text Item demarcated by paragraphs.
  • measure: Metrics such as Precision and Recall, F1 Score, and Segmentation Similarity (in correctly identifying paragraph boundaries).
  • It can be supported by a Paragraph Segmentation System (that implements a paragraph segmentation algorithm).
  • It can leverage features like indentation, line breaks, and lexical cues for paragraph boundaries.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Paragraph Detection("First paragraph.\\n\\nSecond paragraph.") ⇒ <PARA>First paragraph.</PARA> <PARA>Second paragraph.</PARA>
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Sentence Boundary Detection Task.
  • a Text Tokenization Task.
  • a Chapter Segmentation Task.
