Text Segmentation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Text segmentation divides a long document into meaningful sections (segments) along topic or discourse boundaries. Introduced for subtopic passages by Marti A. Hearst's TextTiling (1997), it supports document-structure analysis and the detection of topic transitions in continuous text.
