Text Segmentation Performance Measure

A Text Segmentation Performance Measure is an NLP performance measure that evaluates the effectiveness of text segmentation system (on text segmentation).

• Context:
  • It can (typically) assess how accurately an algorithm can identify and separate distinct segments within a text.
  • It can (often) compare the algorithm's segmented output against a gold standard or reference segmentation.
  • It can employ various statistical and computational techniques to quantify segmentation accuracy.
  • It can be critical in applications such as Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, and Document Analysis.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • WindowDiff.
  • P_k Measure.
  • Boundary Similarity Measure.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Precision and Recall (used for general classification tasks).
  • BLEU Score (used for evaluating machine translation).
  • ...
