用人物关系网络对比《冰与火之歌》不同媒介改编，发现角色互动足以揭示剧情分歧。
Interconnected Kingdoms: Comparing 'A Song of Ice and Fire' Adaptations Across Media Using Complex Networks
- 构建角色网络，通过互动模式匹配跨媒介角色
- 角色归属和性别等信息能显著提升匹配准确率
- 仅凭互动数据即可发现小说与电视剧的叙事分岔点
本文提出并应用一种方法，用于比较同一故事在不同媒介中的改编。通过建模角色网络，从角色构成与叙事动态两个核心维度进行对比。我们提出了多种跨媒介角色匹配方法，并分析角色在网络中的位置；同时进行叙事单元序列匹配，以实现情节层面的比对。将该方法应用于乔治·R·R·马丁的《冰与火之歌》系列小说及其漫画与电视剧改编。结果表明，仅依靠角色互动不足以准确匹配个体角色，但加入角色所属阵营或性别等额外信息可显著提升匹配性能。相反，角色互动已足够支持叙事匹配，成功检测出原著小说与电视剧之间的叙事偏离。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this article, we propose and apply a method to compare adaptations of the same story across different media. We tackle this task by modelling such adaptations through character networks. We compare them by leveraging two concepts at the core of storytelling: the characters involved, and the dynamics of the story. We propose several methods to match characters between media and compare their position in the networks; and perform narrative matching, i.e. match the sequences of narrative units that constitute the plots. We apply these methods to the novel series \textit{A Song of Ice and Fire}, by G.R.R. Martin, and its comics and TV show adaptations. Our results show that interactions between characters are not sufficient to properly match individual characters between adaptations, but that using some additional information such as character affiliation or gender significantly improves the performance. On the contrary, character interactions convey enough information to perform narrative matching, and allow us to detect the divergence between the original novels and its TV show adaptation.
