Paragraph Speech
Paragraph-level analysis in natural language processing (NLP) focuses on understanding and processing text beyond the sentence level, aiming to capture higher-level semantic and structural information within and across paragraphs. Current research employs various deep learning architectures, including transformers and graph convolutional networks, to address tasks such as machine-generated text detection, cross-lingual entailment, and automated writing feedback. These advancements have implications for diverse applications, including improved machine translation, legal information retrieval, and assistive technologies for visually impaired individuals, by enabling more nuanced and context-aware processing of textual data.
