%0 Journal Article %T An Emergent Approach to Text Analysis Based on a Connectionist Model and the Web %A Mario G.C.A. Cimino %A Gigliola Vaglini %J Algorithms %D 2013 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/a6030565 %X In this paper, we present a method to provide proactive assistance in text checking, based on usage relationships between words structuralized on the Web. For a given sentence, the method builds a connectionist structure of relationships between word n-grams. Such structure is then parameterized by means of an unsupervised and language agnostic optimization process. Finally, the method provides a representation of the sentence that allows emerging the least prominent usage-based relational patterns, helping to easily find badly-written and unpopular text. The study includes the problem statement and its characterization in the literature, as well as the proposed solving approach and some experimental use. %K natural language processing %K language usage %K emergent paradigm %K unsupervised approach %K connectionist model %K web as corpus %U http://www.mdpi.com/1999-4893/6/3/565
