| | # Dataset Card for PlotStructureClassification |
| |
|
| | PlotStructureClassification is a dataset designed for text classification tasks, where the objective is to classify narrative descriptions into well-known plot structures (e.g., "The Hero's Journey," "Three-Act Structure"). Each entry contains a label (the plot structure) and a corresponding description of the structure. This dataset is curated to support models in understanding and categorizing narrative frameworks often used in literature and film. |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset Details |
| |
|
| | ### Dataset Description |
| |
|
| | This dataset contains manually curated plot structure descriptions. Each entry includes a narrative label (e.g., "The Hero's Journey") and a brief explanation of the plot structure. The dataset aims to train models to classify narrative descriptions into their appropriate plot structure categories. |

| | ## Uses |
| | ### Direct Use |
| |
|
| |
|
| | This dataset can be used to: |
| |
|
| | - Train text classification models to identify plot structures based on descriptions. |
| | - Support research on narrative structures and the automatic detection of plot frameworks. |
| | - Enhance models designed for content creation, storytelling, or creative writing by recognizing core narrative patterns. |
| |
|
| | ### Out-of-Scope Use |
| |
|
| | The dataset is not suitable for tasks unrelated to narrative or storytelling. It should not be used for tasks such as numerical prediction or classification unrelated to plot structure. |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset Structure |
| |
|
| | Each instance in the dataset includes: |
| |
|
| | label: The name of the plot structure (e.g., "The Hero's Journey"). |
| | text: A description of the plot structure. |
| | Example: |
| |
|
| | ```json |
| | { |
| | "label": "The Hero's Journey (Monomyth)", |
| | "text": "A narrative arc where a hero ventures forth, faces trials, and returns transformed, often used in mythological stories." |
| | } |
| | ``` |
| |
|
| | Data Fields |
| | - label (string): The plot structure label. |
| | - text (string): A description of the plot structure. |
| |
|
| | Data Splits |
| | - Train: 70% |
| | - Validation: 15% |
| | - Test: 15% |

|
| | ## Dataset Creation |
| |
|
| | ### Curation Rationale |
| |
|
| | This dataset was created to assist in the development of models capable of classifying and understanding narrative structures. By focusing on well-known plot frameworks, the dataset supports research into storytelling techniques and narrative comprehension. |
| |
|
| | ### Source Data |
| | #### Data Collection and Processing |
| |
|
| | The dataset was manually curated by summarizing well-known plot structures from books, films, and storytelling guides. Each entry was carefully reviewed to ensure consistency and accuracy. |
| |
|
| | #### Who are the source data producers? |
| |
|
| | The source data was drawn from storytelling and narrative studies, film analysis, and literary guides. The dataset was curated to focus on well-known structures that appear in a variety of media. |
| |
|
| | ### Annotations [optional] |
| | #### Annotation process |
| |
|
| | The dataset was manually annotated, ensuring that the labels and descriptions aligned with well-defined narrative structures. |
| |
|
| | #### Who are the annotators? |
| |
|
| | Annotations were performed by individuals with experience in narrative analysis and storytelling frameworks. |
| |
|
| | #### Personal and Sensitive Information |
| |
|
| | This dataset does not contain any personal or sensitive information, as it focuses entirely on narrative structures from public sources. |
| |
|
| | ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations |
| | ### Recommendations |
| |
|
| | Users should be aware of potential biases in the types of narrative structures included. The dataset focuses on traditional Western storytelling frameworks, which may limit its applicability to non-Western or experimental storytelling techniques. |
