Literary similarity among novels in Portuguese

Through the identification of some features of literary works in Portuguese – linked to their characters, on the one hand; and using syntactic and semantic annotation, on the other – we attempt to study similarity and difference among hundreds of different literary works in Portuguese, using principal components analysis (PCA) to reduce dimensionality. Though a first exploratory study, it already shows some promise. The paper ends explaining the long- term applications we have in mind.
