| # 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. |

|
| ## 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. |
