Is anyone aware of any studies applying NLP techniques to screenplay text? I'm aware of some network analytics work, but more interested in studies that apply text analytics techniques.
Have you taken a look at:
* Classifying Movie Scripts by Genre with a MEMM Using NLP-Based Features by Alex Blackstock and Matt Spitz.
* SceneMaker: Automatic Visualisation of Screenplays by Eva Hanser, Paul Mc Kevitt, Tom Lunney, and Joan Condell.
Dear Gerard,
