Title
Learning Joint Gaussian Representations for Movies, Actors, and Literary Characters.
Abstract
Understanding of narrative content has become an increasingly popular topic. However, narrative semantics pose difficult challenges as the effects of multiple narrative facets, such as the text, events, character types, and genres, are tightly intertwined. We present a joint representation learning framework for embedding actors, literary characters, movies, genres, and descriptive keywords as Gaussian distributions and translation vectors on the Gaussian means. The Gaussian variance naturally corresponds to actorsu0027 versatility, a central concept in acting. Our estimate of actorsu0027 versatility agree with domain expertsu0027 rankings 65.95% of the time. This is, to our knowledge, the first computational technique for estimating this semantic concept. Additionally, the model substantially outperforms a TransE baseline in prediction of actor casting choices.
