Text mining War and Peace: Automatic extraction of character traits from literary pieces
Skorinkin D., Bonch-Osmolovskaya A.
This paper presents a study of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace by means of automatic syntactic and semantic analysis. Using a parser that extracts syntactic dependencies and semantic roles, we were able to compare different characters of the novel in terms of the semantic roles they tend to occupy. Our data shows that there are certain dependencies between the apparent personal traits of a character and his or her positions within the predicate structures. We hope that further research will help us gain more insights into the ‘literary technique’ of Tolstoy and enable us to create a semantic markup of his works.

В статье освящается проблема переводческих подходов к интерпретации подлинника и методы передачи авторского идиолекта. Исключительность аргентинского перевода состоит в том, что текст на испанский язык был переведен несколькими переводчиками, как испаноговорящими, так и русскоговорящими, следовательно, наблюдаем очевидное несовпадение в методах и приемах передачи авторского слога. ...

It is a basic assumption of stylometry that texts written by the same person show greater stylometric similarity even if published under multiple pennames. Statistical authorship attribution strongly relies on the ability of Burrows’s Delta and its variants to cluster one author together regardless of pseudonyms. At the same time, the very first computational discoveries ...

This paper considers the possibility of quantitative measurement of Plato’s style using Burrows’ Delta. The author concludes that the result is not very informative if a limited number of author’s profiles, each corresponding to the known or assumed fluctuations in the author’s style, is used for machine classification. Instead, minimal Delta distances calculated for the ...

Когда «Князь Серебряный» увидел свет (1862), тогдашние ревнители общественного блага сочли «повесть времен Иоанна Грозного» литературно архаичной, этически ничтожной и политически вредной. Честному писателю надлежит клеймить сегодняшние безобразия, а не баснословного царя. Стыдно отвлекать общество от важных дел сказками о княжеских страданиях, порушенной любви, верности слову, муках совести и прочей ерунде. Граф А. К. Толстой ...
