An Interpretable Linguistically-Grounded Analysis of Scene Saliency in Movie Screenplays

Uday Bindal, Ishaan Karan, Manan Garg +3

We investigate the factors affecting salience in movie screenplay by posing two research questions: 1. {\em Does Uniform Information Density (UID) predict salient scenes?} 2. {\em…
