| Abstract | In this paper we present a fairy tale corpus that was semantically organized and tagged. The proposed method uses latent semantic mapping to represent the stories and a top-n item-to-item recommendation algorithm to define clusters of similar stories. Each story can be placed in more than one cluster and stories in the same cluster are related to the same concepts. The results were manually evaluated regarding the groupings as perceived by human judges. The evaluation resulted in a precision of 0.81, a recall of 0.69, and an f-measure of 0.75 when using tf*idf for word frequency. Our method is topic- and language-independent, and, contrary to traditional clustering methods, automatically defines the number of clusters based on the set of documents. This method can be used as a setup for traditional clustering or classification. The resulting corpus will be used for recommendation purposes, although it can also be used for emotion extraction, semantic role extraction, meaning extraction, text classification, among others. |
