Metrical Tagging in the Wild: Building and Annotating Poetry Corpora with Rhythmic Features (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a prerequisite for the computational study of literature is the availability of properly digitized texts with reliable meta-data and ground-truth annotation. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate prosodic features in large poetry corpora for English and German and train corpus driven neural models that enable large scale analysis. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models outperform baseline and BERT-based approaches in English and german and show that they learn foot boundaries better when jointly predicting syllable stress, aesthetic emotions and verse measures benefit from each other. |
