Mohammad Mahdi Shokri, Allison Bishop, Sarah Ita Levitan · 2024
Evolving tools for narrative analysis present an opportunity to identify common structure in stories that are socially important to tell, such as stories of survival from domestic abuse.A greater structural understanding of such stories could lead to stronger protections against deanonymization, as well as future tools to help survivors navigate the complex trade-offs inherent in trying to tell their stories safely.In this work we explore narrative patterns within a small set of domestic violence stories, identifying many similarities.We then propose a method to assess the safety of sharing a story based on a distance feature vector.
