A narrative fiction is "the narration of a succession of fictional events" . Such narratives are composed of several components (e.g., events, characters, time, causality, focalization, and narration style). This paper focuses on characters, an essential component of narrative fiction. According to Chatman , a…

Characters are at the heart of every story, driving the plot and engaging readers. In this study, we explore the understanding of characters in full-length books, which contain complex narratives and numerous interacting characters. We define two tasks: character description, which generates a brief factual profile…

As LLM-generated text is increasingly used, especially in fictional domains, we explore how much LLM-generated stories differ from human-written stories. In this work, we focus on characters. We borrow definitions from narratology to analyze eight intricate dimensions of character, such as stylization and wholeness.…

'Warren Cheung' 'Claes Wahlestedt' 'Boris Lenhard' 'Wyeth W. Wasserman' 'Juan Valcarcel'] Background We introduce the Gene Characterization Index, a bioinformatics method for scoring the extent to which a protein-encoding gene is functionally described. Inherently a reflection of human perception, the Gene…

Characters in novels have typically been modeled based on their presence in scenes in narrative—considering aspects like their actions, named mentions, and dialogue. This conception of character places significant emphasis on the main character who is present in the most scenes. In this work, we instead adopt a framing…

'Eric J. Hilton' 'Cartik Kothari' 'Hilmar Lapp' 'John G. Lundberg' 'Peter E. Midford' 'Todd J. Vision' 'Monte Westerfield' 'Paula M. Mabee' 'Janet Kelso'] Background The wealth of phenotypic descriptions documented in the published articles, monographs, and dissertations of phylogenetic systematics is traditionally…

'Xianglong Xu' 'Shuai Liu'] Wastewater characterization is the basis for process design and operation optimization of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this work, a comprehensive study of the respirometry method has been performed to evaluate the biodegradable organic matters of wastewater. First, the optimal…

Character Similarity Benchmark Authors: ['Funing Yang' 'Carolyn Jane Anderson'] Several systems have been developed to extract information about characters to aid computational analysis of English literature. We propose character similarity grouping as a holistic evaluation task for these pipelines. We present…

Rationale Isomerism can be an important aspect in pharmaceutical drug development. Identification of isomers can provide insights into drug pharmacology and contribute to better design of drug molecules. The general approaches to differentiate isomers include Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear…

Current research on identification with narrative characters poses two problems. First, although identification is seen as a dynamic process of which the intensity varies during reading, it is usually measured by means of post-reading questionnaires containing self-report items. Second, it is not clear which linguistic…

Lignans are particularly interesting secondary metabolites belonging to the phenyl-propanoid biosynthetic pathway. From the structural point of view, these molecules could belong to the aryltetralin, arylnaphtalene, or dibenzylbutyrolactone molecular skeleton. Lignans are present in different tissues of plants but are…

'Christophe Cerisara'] Recent approaches to automatically detect the speaker of an utterance of direct speech often disregard general information about characters in favor of local information found in the context, such as surrounding mentions of entities. In this work, we explore stylistic representations of…

Protein folding, the process by which proteins attain a 3-dimensional conformation necessary for their function, remains an important unsolved problem in biology. A major gap in our understanding is how local properties of proteins relate to their global properties. In this manuscript, we use the Writhe and Torsion to…

Curation of biological and paleontological datasets is a labor-intensive process that requires standardization and validation to ensure data integrity. In particular, manual curation of datasets is prone to human errors such as typographical errors, inconsistent formatting, and incomplete metadata, which hinder…

Acylcarnitines are important intermediates in fatty acid metabolism, shuttling acyl groups into mitochondria for β-oxidation and energy production. As biomarkers, their concentrations are utilized to diagnose metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance, and neurodegenerative disorders. However, in-depth…

Cartoons and animation domain videos have very different characteristics compared to real-life images and videos. In addition, this domain carries a large variability in styles. Current computer vision and deep-learning solutions often fail on animated content because they were trained on natural images. In this paper…

Deciphering the pattern and abundance of O-glycosylation of mucin domain proteins, glycoproteins heavily implicated in cancer and other diseases, remains an ongoing challenge. Both the macro- and micro-heterogeneity of glycosylation complicates the analysis, motivating the development of new strategies for structural…

Protein drugs exhibit challenges of biophysical and biochemical instability due to their structural complexity and rich dynamics. Solid-state biologics aim to enhance stability by increasing molecular rigidity within the formulation matrix, representing a primary category of drug products alongside sterile liquid…

The combination of gas-phase infrared (IR) spectroscopy with ion mobility spectrometry and mass spectrometry provides detailed, multi-dimensional structural information that facilitates the identification of unknown analytes. The instrumentation for performing these measurements is typically home-built and requires…

The study of protein molecular surfaces enable to better understand and predict protein interactions. Different methods have been developed in computer vision to compare surfaces that can be applied to protein molecular surfaces. The present work proposes a method using the the Wave Kernel Signature : Protein LOcal…

A concept of information designed to handle information conveyed by organizations is introduced. This concept of information may be used at all biological scales: from molecular and intracellular to multi-cellular organisms and human beings, and further on to collectivities, societies and culture. In this short…

Recognition plays a crucial role in the formation of social bonds, mate selection, kin selection and survival across species. However, a unifying framework for understanding recognition systems in biology is lacking. We, therefore, propose a theoretical framework for biological recognition utilizing basic principles…
