List of Academic Articles

List of methods designed to extract character networks from fictional works. The Relationships column indicates whether the edges correspond to co-occurrences (Cc.), conversations (Cv.), mentions (M.), direct actions (Ac.), or affiliations (Af.). The Graph column shows whether the extracted networks are weighted (W.), directed (Di.), signed (S.), and dynamic (Dy.). When the authors experiment with different methods, several values may appear in the same cell. Note that this table has been completed after the publication of the official ACM CS article.
