Although sentiment analysis in Chinese social media has attracted a lot of interest in recent years, it has been less explored in traditional Chinese literature (e.g., classical Chinese poetry) due to the lack of sentiment lexicon resources. In this paper, we propose a weakly supervised approach based on Weighted Personalized PageRank (WPPR) to create a sentiment lexicon for classical Chinese p...

Identical rhymes (right/write, attire/retire) are considered satisfactory and even artistic in French poetry but are considered unsatisfactory in English. This has been a consistent generalization over the course of centuries, a surprising fact given that other aspects of poetic form in French were happily applied in English. This paper puts forward the hypothesis that this difference is not me...

Several poetry generation systems that are in some way inspired or motivated by existing articles such as newspaper stories have recently appeared. However, most if not all of them employ template-based generation, which limits both the expressiveness of the system and the ability to faithfully convey the message of the source article. In this paper we present our work on a poetry generation sy...

Due to differences in form, style and culture between the original and the translated version of ancient Chinese poetry, the meaning of translated ancient Chinese poems is bound to differ from that of the originals. Therefore, to certain extent some ancient Chinese poems can never be completely translated; but it is possible that they can be better translated so that the reader of the translate...

In this paper we describe the difficulties of poetry generation, particularly in contrast to traditional informative natural language generation. We then point out deficiencies of previous attempts at poetry generation, and propose a stochastic hillclimbing search model which addresses these deficiencies. We present both conceptual and implemented details of the most important aspects of such a...

Our system in addition to the tools listed above which aim at obtaining the same results of quantitative linguistics, adds a number of additional tools for syntactic and semantic structural analysis ...

Prosodie relations in prose, poetry and music are discussed with an emphasis on durational properties. In order to gain a deeper understanding of speech prosody, we are presently engaged in a comparison of the timing relations in such activities as the reading of poetry and music performance, where there usually is a strong and obvious rhythmic patteming of the produced sound sequences. Also th...
