Folktales Plot graphs Similarity Experiments
Analysis & Discussion
? Errors in automatic construction (dependency
parses aren’t really semantic graphs), e.g.:
“along came a mouse” vs. “a mouse came”,
coreference errors.
? Consistent with Fisseni & L?we (2012)
findings: focus more on content & motifs?
? Combination of plot graph + BoW yields best
results.

  • 36. Beijing 30 July ‘15 Folktales Plot graphs Similarity Experiments Analysis & Discussion ? Errors in automatic construction (dependency parses aren’t really semantic graphs), e.g.: “along came a mouse” vs. “a mouse came”, coreference errors. ? Consistent with Fisseni & L?we (2012) findings: focus more on content & motifs? ? Combination of plot graph + BoW yields best results. 23/24
