An End-to-end Environment for Research Question-Driven Entity Extraction and Network Analysis

Andre Blessing, Nora Echelmeyer, Markus John, Nils Reiter


Abstract
This paper presents an approach to extract co-occurrence networks from literary texts. It is a deliberate decision not to aim for a fully automatic pipeline, as the literary research questions need to guide both the definition of the nature of the things that co-occur as well as how to decide co-occurrence. We showcase the approach on a Middle High German romance, Parzival. Manual inspection and discussion shows the huge impact various choices have.
