Novel Sentiment Analysis
→Sentiment plotted paragraph by paragraph across a whole novel, looking for an author’s emotional shape. The plot is noise — and the reason it is noise is the finding.
Prose Similarities
→Subtract the vocabulary every novel shares and what is left is a graph of who writes like whom — walkable, so you can ask for the route between two writers.
Quotable NLP Synset
→Swap a line’s adjectives for near synonyms, keep everything else, and listen to how much the writer’s actual word was carrying.
Literature Mutations
→Can the genre system of English fiction be recovered from prose alone, and can you measure the rate at which genres form? Yes to the first. Mostly no to the second — except detective fiction.
345 novels, 1660–1928. Genres emerge unsupervised and are confirmed by held-out labels the model never sees.
