• Abstract summary: We propose an automated method to distinguish between poetry and prose based solely on aural and rhythmic properties. The classification of the considered texts using the set of features extracted resulted in a best accuracy of 0.78, obtained with a neural network.

• Abstract: Poetry and prose are written artistic expressions that help us to appreciate the reality we live. Each of these styles has its own set of subjective properties, such as rhyme and rhythm, which are easily caught by a human reader's eye and ear. With the recent advances in artificial intelligence, the gap between humans and machines may have decreased, and today we observe algorithms mastering tasks that were once exclusively performed by humans. In this paper, we propose an automated method to distinguish between poetry and prose based solely on aural and rhythmic properties. In other to compare prose and poetry rhythms, we represent the rhymes and phones as temporal sequences and thus we propose a procedure for extracting rhythmic features from these sequences. The classification of the considered texts using the set of features extracted resulted in a best accuracy of 0.78, obtained with a neural network. Interestingly, by using an approach based on complex networks to visualize the similarities between the different texts considered, we found that the patterns of poetry vary much more than prose. Consequently, a much richer and complex set of rhythmic possibilities tends to be found in that modality.

• Conjuring Semantic Similarity [59.18714889874088]
  The semantic similarity between two textual expressions measures the distance between their latent'meaning' We propose a novel approach whereby the semantic similarity among textual expressions is based not on other expressions they can be rephrased as, but rather based on the imagery they evoke. Our method contributes a novel perspective on semantic similarity that not only aligns with human-annotated scores, but also opens up new avenues for the evaluation of text-conditioned generative models.

  This paper explores whether a byte-based language model can generate words that fit specific beat patterns within the context of poetry. We develop a method to train a transformer model, ByT5, to align poems with beat patterns. The results demonstrate a high level of beat alignment while maintaining semantic coherence.

  We develop a method to assess the style of American poems and to visualize a collection of poems in relation to one another. qualitative poetry criticism helped guide our development of metrics that analyze various orthographic, syntactic, and phonemic features. Our method has potential applications to academic research of texts, to research of the intuitive personal response to poetry, and to making recommendations to readers based on their favorite poems.

  We propose a method for generating high-quality lyrics without training on any aligned melody-lyric data. We leverage the segmentation and rhythm alignment between melody and lyrics to compile the given melody into decoding constraints. Our model can generate high-quality lyrics that are more on-topic, singable, intelligible, and coherent than strong baselines.
