Structure-based Clustering of Novels
Mariona Coll Ardanuy, Caroline Sporleder · 2014
To date, document clustering by genres or authors has been performed mostly by means of stylometric and content features.With the premise that novels are societies in miniature, we build social networks from novels as a strategy to quantify their plot and structure.From each social network, we extract a vector of features which characterizes the novel.We perform clustering over the vectors obtained, and the resulting groups are contrasted in terms of author and genre.
