%0 Journal Article %T Text segmentation by language %D 2016 %@ 1692-5238 %U http://www.icesi.edu.co/revistas/index.php/sistemas_telematica/article/view/2289 %X There are two approaches for text segmentation by language: first, assuming that language changes ha-ppen in the “border” between sentences (never within a sentence); second, assuming that language changes can happen anyplace in the text. This work presents methods for both types of text’s segmentation by languages. On the first pro-posal, the text is initially segmented by sentence, then the language of each sentence is obtained; the second proposal is an adaptation of hidden Markov model to this task. Both cases, according to results obtained in experimental proofs, exceed the state of art. %K Textos %K Lenguaje natural %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
