TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Extracting Social Networks from Literary Fiction"

We present a method for extracting social networks from literature, namely, nineteenth-century British novels and serials. We derive the networks from dialogue interactions, and thus our method depends on the ability to determine when two characters are in conversation. Our approach involves character name chunking, quoted speech attribution and conversation detection given the set of quotes. We extract features from the social networks and examine their correlation with one another, as well as with metadata such as the novel’s setting. . | Extracting Social Networks from Literary Fiction David K.

Our approach involves character name chunking quoted speech attribution and conversation detection given the set of quotes. We extract features from the social networks and examine their correlation with one another as well as with metadata such as the novel s setting. Our results provide evidence that the majority of novels in this time period do not fit two characterizations provided by literacy scholars. Instead our results suggest an alternative explanation for differences in social networks. 1 Introduction Literary studies about the nineteenth-century British novel are often concerned with the nature of the community that surrounds the protagonist. Some theorists have suggested a relationship between the size of a community and the amount of dialogue that occurs positing that face to face time diminishes as the number of characters in the novel grows. Others suggest that as the social setting becomes more urbanized the quality of dialogue also changes with more interactions occurring in rural communities than urban communities. Such claims have typically been made however on the basis of a few novels that are studied in depth. In this paper we aim to determine whether an automated study of a much larger sample of nineteenth century novels supports these claims. The research presented here is concerned with the extraction of social networks from literature. We present a method to automatically .
