Also, many topic segmenters have been proposed. However, the current challenge of researchers is the improvement of these segmenters by using external resources. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to integrate study and evaluate a new external semantic resource in topic segmentation. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 New topic segmenters (TSS-Onto and TSB-Onto) are proposed based on the two well-known segmenters C99 and TextTiling. The proposed segmenters integrate semantic knowledge to the segmentation process by using a domain ontology as an external resource. Subsequently, an evaluation is made to study the effect of this resource on the quality of topic segmentation along with a comparative study with related works. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 Based on this study, the authors showed that adding semantic knowledge, which is extracted from a domain ontology, improves the quality of topic segmentation. Moreover, TSS-Ont outperforms TSB-Ont in terms of quality of topic segmentation. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The main limitation of this study is the used test corpus for the evaluation which is not a benchmark. However, we used a collection of scientific papers from well-known digital libraries (ArXiv and ACM). <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The proposed topic segmenters can be useful in different NLP applications such as information retrieval and text summarizing. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The primary original contribution of this paper is the improvement of topic segmentation based on semantic knowledge. This knowledge is extracted from an ontological external resource.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ijicc-01-2016-0001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,4]],"date-time":"2016-07-04T06:02:38Z","timestamp":1467612158000},"page":"165-178","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Exogenous approach to improve topic segmentation"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Marwa","family":"Naili","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Anja","family":"Habacha Chaibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Henda","family":"Hajjami Ben Ghezala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020121502255667500_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bayomi, M.\n , \n Levacher, K.\n , \n Ghorab, M.R.\n and \n Lawless, S.\n (2015), \u201cOntoSeg: a novel approach to text segmentation using ontological similarity\u201d, IEEE International Conference on Data Mining Workshop, ICDMW 2015, Atlantic City, NJ, pp. 1274-1283.","DOI":"10.1109\/ICDMW.2015.6"},{"key":"key2020121502255667500_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bestgen, Y.\n (2006), \u201cImproving text segmentation using latent semantic analysis: a reanalysis of Choi, Wiemer-Hastings and Moore\u201d, \n Computational Linguistics\n , Vol. 32 No. 3, pp. 5-12.","DOI":"10.1162\/coli.2006.32.1.5"},{"key":"key2020121502255667500_b3","unstructured":"Bestgen, Y.\n and \n Pierard, S.\n (2006), \u201cComment evaluer les algorithmes de segmentation thematique?
