Computer aided writing - A framework supporting research tasks, topic recommendations and text readability

Abstract

Although the concept of computer aided writing and word processing is already about 50 years old, there are only few features supporting text creation for authors in today's standard word processing tools. This work presents a Computer Aided Writing (CAW) framework, which supports the user not only during research tasks, but also in creating a text and varieties of this initial text. A feature for proof reading of the text highlights paragraphs which might cause readability problems. The CAW framework bases on methods from the research fields of Knowledge Discovery from Text (KDT) and Recommender Systems. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
