What makes a poem beautiful? We use computational methods to compare the stylistic and content features employed by awardwinning poets and amateur poets. Building upon existing techniques designed to quantitatively analyze style and affect in texts, we examined elements of poetic craft such as diction, sound devices, emotive language, and imagery. Results showed that the most important indicato...

Poetry generation is becoming popular among researchers of Natural Language Generation, Computational Creativity and, broadly, Artificial Intelligence. To produce text that may be regarded as poetry, computational systems are typically knowledge-intensive and deal with several levels of language. Interest on the topic resulted in the development of several poetry generators described in the lit...

Computational analysis of poetry is a challenging and interesting task in NLP. Human expertise on stylistics and aesthetics of poetry is generally expensive and scarce. In this work, we delve into the data to automatically extract stylistic and linguistic information which are useful for analysis and comparison of poems. We make use of semantic (word) features to perform subject-based classific...

Micro world of belonging to a certain region is a starting point towards the wider, macro world. Poetry, as a universal phenomenon, enables the opening of all borders in the most noble, most intimate way. Istrian dialectal poetry and chakavian poets have insured the survival of different language idioms of the Istrian peninsula which would have disappeared if transmitted only through oral forms...

Contemporary poetry can be divided into the poetry of before and after the Islamic Revolution. Among the post-revolutionary poetry, the Pishro or avant-garde Poetry is the most important style of poetry. The well-known figure of this kind of poetry is Reza Baraheni (1935- ) who became the most influential poet of the Post-Revolution Poetry with the publication of his Khetab be Parvane ha and in...

We test the Consensual Assessment Technique on recent digital poetry, using graduate students in Experimental Digital Media as judges. Our judges display good interrater agreement for the best and worst poems, but disagree on others. The CAT by itself may not be suitable for use on digital poetry; however, the behavior of quasi-expert judges when attempting this task gives us clues towards evid...

existence of words and concepts of basic sciences including mathematics, geology, biology, chemistry and physics in the poetry causes many form and conceptual rises and falls for which further investigation and criticism are necessary. science always accompanies with accuracy and science introduction  into poetic and literary  area will also involve it in accuracy and give it more depth. someti...

Rhythm is expressed by recurring, hence predictable beat patterns. Poetry in many languages is composed with attention to poetic meters while prose is not. Therefore, one way to investigate speech rhythm is to evaluate how prose reading differs from poetry reading via a quantitative method that measures predictability. We use linear regression to predict the acoustic properties of segments from...
