Modern popular TV series often develop complex storylines spanning several seasons, but are usually watched in quite a discontinuous way. As a result, the viewer generally needs a comprehensive summary of the previous season plot before the…
Narrative generation and analysis are still on the fringe of modern natural language processing yet are crucial in a variety of applications. This paper proposes a feature extraction method for plot dynamics. We present a dataset that…
Smoothed analysis is a framework suggested for mediating gaps between worst-case and average-case complexities. In a recent work, Dinitz et al.~[Distributed Computing, 2018] suggested to use smoothed analysis in order to study dynamic…
A character network is a graph extracted from a narrative, in which vertices represent characters and edges correspond to interactions between them. A number of narrative-related problems can be addressed automatically through the analysis…
Analysing narratives through their social networks is an expanding field in quantitative literary studies. Manually extracting a social network from any narrative can be time consuming, so automatic extraction methods of varying complexity…
Human communication is often executed in the form of a narrative, an account of connected events composed of characters, actions, and settings. A coherent narrative structure is therefore a requisite for a well-formulated narrative -- be it…
Reader reviews of literary fiction on social media, especially those in persistent, dedicated forums, create and are in turn driven by underlying narrative frameworks. In their comments about a novel, readers generally include only a subset…
Temporal networks have been increasingly used to model a diversity of systems that evolve in time; for example human contact structures over which dynamic processes such as epidemics take place. A fundamental aspect of real-life networks is…
In a dynamic network, the neighborhood of the vertices evolve across different temporal snapshots of the network. Accurate modeling of this temporal evolution can help solve complex tasks involving real-life social and interaction networks.…
In recent years, text summarization methods have attracted much attention again thanks to the researches on neural network models. Most of the current text summarization methods based on neural network models are supervised methods which…
We present two deep learning approaches to narrative text understanding for character relationship modelling. The temporal evolution of these relations is described by dynamic word embeddings, that are designed to learn semantic changes…
We generalize the technique of smoothed analysis to distributed algorithms in dynamic network models. Whereas standard smoothed analysis studies the impact of small random perturbations of input values on algorithm performance metrics,…
Relation extraction is a crucial task in natural language processing, with broad applications in knowledge graph construction and literary analysis. However, the complex context and implicit expressions in novel texts pose significant…
Novel method of reconstructing dynamical networks from empirically measured time series is proposed. By examining the variable--derivative correlation of network node pairs, we derive a simple equation that directly yields the adjacency…
Traditional information retrieval is primarily concerned with finding relevant information from large datasets without imposing a structure within the retrieved pieces of data. However, structuring information in the form of…
Many temporal networks exhibit multiple system states, such as weekday and weekend patterns in social contact networks. The detection of such distinct states in temporal network data has recently been explored as it helps reveal underlying…
Narratives are fundamental to our understanding of the world, providing us with a natural structure for knowledge representation over time. Computational narrative extraction is a subfield of artificial intelligence that makes heavy use of…
Dynamic sampling mechanisms in deep learning architectures have demonstrated utility across many computer vision models, though the theoretical analysis of these structures has not yet been unified. In this paper we connect the various…
There is a growing tradition in the joint field of network studies and drama history that produces interpretations from the character networks of the plays.The potential of such an interpretation is that the diagrams provide a different…
Large-scale interaction networks of human communication are often modeled as complex graph structures, obscuring temporal patterns within individual conversations. To facilitate the understanding of such conversational dynamics, episodes…
