The mathematical distinction between prose and verse may be detected in writings that are not apparently lineated, for example in T. S. Eliot’s Burnt Norton, and Jim Crace’s Quarantine. In this paper we offer comments on appropriate statistical methods for such work, and also on the nature of formal innovation in these two texts. Additional remarks are made on the roots of lineation as a metric...

Embedding aweb-scale information network into a low-dimensional vector space facilitates tasks such as link prediction, classification, and visualization. Past research has addressed the problem of extracting such embeddings by adopting methods from words to graphs, without defining a clearly comprehensible graph-related objective. Yet, as we show, the objectives used in past works implicitly u...

adaption of metaphor and allusion has been always considered as the most valuable literary representations and seved as an appropriate device for benchmarking versification potential in poets. as one of shiite poets, seyed hemyari who has devoted his verse for defense from al-ul-bayt (pbut) has benefitted successfully from rhetoric images in this field. despite of its simplicity and plainness i...

Although rhythm in language and speech is elusive, the prosodic pattern in verse and the way language is aligned to music can reveal cross-linguistic differences in rhythm. This paper presents an analysis of the temporal patterning in the Korean verse sico /sitɕo/ and its sung performance. The conclusion is that the sico rhythm does not exclusively suggest that Korean is syllable-based as claim...

We present a finite state technology based system capable of performing metrical scansion of verse written in English. Scansion is the traditional task of analyzing the lines of a poem, marking the stressed and non-stressed elements, and dividing the line into metrical feet. The system’s workflow is composed of several subtasks designed around finite state machines that analyze verse by perform...

This research addresses the role of the lyrics in the context of music emotion variation detection. To accomplish this task we create a system to detect the predominant emotion expressed by each sentence (verse) of the lyrics. The system employs Russell’s emotion model and contains 4 sets of emotions associated to each quadrant. To detect the predominant emotion in each verse, we propose a nove...
