• Abstract: The study presented here provides numerical insight into ghazal -- the most appreciated genre in Urdu poetry. Using 48,761 poetic works from 4,754 poets produced over a period of 800 years, this study explores the main features of Urdu ghazal that make it popular and admired more than other forms. A detailed explanation is provided as to the types of words used for expressing love, nature, birds, and flowers etc. Also considered is the way in which the poets addressed their loved ones in their poetry. The style of poetry is numerically analyzed using Multi Dimensional Scaling to reveal the lexical diversity and similarities/differences between the different poetic works that have drawn the attention of critics, such as Iqbal and Ghalib, Mir Taqi Mir and Mir Dard. The analysis produced here is particularly helpful for research in computational stylistics, neurocognitive poetics, and sentiment analysis.

  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.

  This paper introduces a framework called textitAshaar, which encompasses a collection of datasets and pre-trained models designed specifically for the analysis and generation of Arabic poetry. The pipeline established within our proposed approach encompasses various aspects of poetry, such as meter, theme, and era classification. As part of this endeavor, we provide four datasets: one for poetry generation, another for diacritization, and two for Arudi-style prediction.

• A Method to Judge the Style of Classical Poetry Based on Pre-trained Model [13.899056358137287]
  This paper builds the most perfect data set of Chinese classical poetry at present, trains a BART-poem pre-trained model on this data set, and puts forward a generally applicable poetry style judgment method. Experiments show that the judgment results of the tested poetry work are basically consistent with the conclusions given by critics of previous dynasties, verify some avant-garde judgments of Mr. Qian Zhongshu, and better solve the task of poetry style recognition in the Tang and Song dynasties.

  Formal verse poetry imposes strict constraints on the meter and rhyme scheme of poems. Most prior work on generating this type of poetry uses existing poems for supervision. We propose an unsupervised approach to generate poems following any given meter and rhyme scheme.

  We employ syllabic quantity as a base for deriving rhythmic features for the task of computational authorship attribution of Latin prose texts. Our experiments, carried out on three different datasets, using two different machine learning methods, show that rhythmic features based on syllabic quantity are beneficial in discriminating among Latin prose authors.

  The purpose of this work is to give an ode to the Urdu, Hindi poets, and helping them start their next line of poetry. A concern with creative works like this, especially in the literary context, is to ensure that the output is not plagiarized. This work also addresses the concern and makes sure that the resulting odes are not exact match with input data.

  We propose a novel task to assess a model's semantic understanding of poetry by poem matching. This task requires the model to select one line of Chinese classical poetry among four candidates according to the modern Chinese translation of a line of poetry. To construct this dataset, we first obtain a set of parallel data of Chinese classical poetry and modern Chinese translation.

  We propose MixPoet, a novel model that absorbs multiple factors to create various styles and promote diversity. Based on a semi-supervised variational autoencoder, our model disentangles the latent space into some subspaces, with each conditioned on one influence factor by adversarial training. Experiment results on Chinese poetry demonstrate that MixPoet improves both diversity and quality against three state-of-the-art models.
