用两种网络模型分析短篇故事,预测人类创造力评分。
How to predict creativity ratings from written narratives: A comparison of co-occurrence and textual forma mentis networks
- 构建词语共现与文本心智结构网络,捕捉创意文本语义
- 文本心智网络预测误差更低(最低MAE=0.581)
- 适合心理学、语言学及创意计算研究者参考
本文提供了一个从短篇创意文本构建与分析语义网络的分步工作流程。我们介绍并比较了两种常用文本转网络方法:词语共现网络与文本心智结构网络(TFMN)。基于1029篇短故事语料,我们演示了文本预处理、网络构建、特征提取(结构度量、扩散激活指数和情绪得分)以及回归模型应用全过程。结果表明,在所有建模设置下,TFMN均优于共现网络(最佳MAE=0.581,共现网络为0.592,窗口大小3)。网络结构特征主导预测表现(TFMN MAE=0.591),情绪特征表现较差(MAE=0.711),扩散激活指标贡献有限(MAE=0.788)。本文为认知科学领域研究者提供了实用指南,揭示了句法网络相较于表面共现模型的优势,并提供开源可复现的工作流程。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This tutorial paper provides a step-by-step workflow for building and analysing semantic networks from short creative texts. We introduce and compare two widely used text-to-network approaches: word co-occurrence networks and textual forma mentis networks (TFMNs). We also demonstrate how they can be used in machine learning to predict human creativity ratings. Using a corpus of 1029 short stories, we guide readers through text preprocessing, network construction, feature extraction (structural measures, spreading-activation indices, and emotion scores), and application of regression models. We evaluate how network-construction choices influence both network topology and predictive performance. Across all modelling settings, TFMNs consistently outperformed co-occurrence networks through lower prediction errors (best MAE = 0.581 for TFMN, vs 0.592 for co-occurrence with window size 3). Network-structural features dominated predictive performance (MAE = 0.591 for TFMN), whereas emotion features performed worse (MAE = 0.711 for TFMN) and spreading-activation measures contributed little (MAE = 0.788 for TFMN). This paper offers practical guidance for researchers interested in applying network-based methods for cognitive fields like creativity research. we show when syntactic networks are preferable to surface co-occurrence models, and provide an open, reproducible workflow accessible to newcomers in the field, while also offering deeper methodological insight for experienced researchers.
