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...

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...

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...
