Abstract

Computational recognition of narratives, if successful, would find innumerable applications with large digitized datasets. Systematic identification of narratives in the text flow could significantly contribute to such pivotal questions as where, when, and how narratives are employed. This paper discusses an approach to extract narratives from two datasets, Finnish parliamentary records (1980–2021) and oral history interviews with former Finnish MPs (1988–2018). Our study was based on an iterative approach, proceeding from original expert readings to a rule-based, computational approach that was elaborated with the help of annotated samples and annotation scheme. Annotated samples and computationally found extracts were compared, and a good correspondence was found. In this paper, we exhibit and compare the results from annotation and rule-based approach, and discuss examples of correctly and incorrectly found narrative sections. We consider that all attempts at recognizing and extracting narratives are definition dependent, and feed back to narrative theory.

叙事的计算识别

叙事的计算识别如果成功，将在大型数字化数据集中找到无数的应用。系统地识别文本流中的叙事可以极大地帮助解决叙事在何处、何时以及如何使用等关键问题。本文讨论了从芬兰议会记录（1980-2021 年）和前芬兰国会议员口述历史访谈（1988-2018 年）这两个数据集中提取叙述的方法。我们的研究基于一种迭代方法，从最初的专家解读到基于规则的计算方法，并在注释样本和注释方案的帮助下进行了详细阐述。我们比较了注释样本和计算得出的提取物，发现两者之间存在良好的对应关系。在本文中，我们展示并比较了注释方法和基于规则的方法的结果，并讨论了正确和错误找到的叙述部分的例子。我们认为，所有识别和提取叙事的尝试都与定义有关，并反馈到叙事理论中。

期刊介绍： Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
