• Authors: Rohitash Chandra, Guoxiang Ren, Group-H,
• Abstract summary: This study uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to explore the longitudinal abuse and sentiment analysis of Hollywood Oscar and blockbuster movie dialogues from 1950 to 2024. Our findings reveal significant temporal changes in movie dialogues, which reflect broader social and cultural influences. The results show a gradual rise in abusive content in recent decades, reflecting social norms and regulatory policy changes.

• Abstract: Over the past decades, there has been an increasing concern about the prevalence of abusive and violent content in Hollywood movies. This study uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to explore the longitudinal abuse and sentiment analysis of Hollywood Oscar and blockbuster movie dialogues from 1950 to 2024. By employing fine-tuned LLMs, we analyze subtitles for over a thousand movies categorised into four genres to examine the trends and shifts in emotional and abusive content over the past seven decades. Our findings reveal significant temporal changes in movie dialogues, which reflect broader social and cultural influences. Overall, the emotional tendencies in the films are diverse, and the detection of abusive content also exhibits significant fluctuations. The results show a gradual rise in abusive content in recent decades, reflecting social norms and regulatory policy changes. Genres such as thrillers still present a higher frequency of abusive content that emphasises the ongoing narrative role of violence and conflict. At the same time, underlying positive emotions such as humour and optimism remain prevalent in most of the movies. Furthermore, the gradual increase of abusive content in movie dialogues has been significant over the last two decades, where Oscar-nominated movies overtook the top ten blockbusters.

  Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) have unclocked audio dialogue capabilities, where audio dialogues are a direct exchange of spoken language between LALMs and humans. Recent advances, such as GPT-4o, have enabled LALMs in back-and-forth audio dialogues with humans. We propose an Audio Dialogue Understanding Benchmark (ADU-Bench) to evaluate the performance of LALMs in the open-ended audio dialogue understanding.

  This paper investigates the capability of LLMs in storytelling, focusing on narrative development and plot progression. We introduce a novel computational framework to analyze narratives through three discourse-level aspects. We show that explicit integration of discourse features can enhance storytelling, as is demonstrated by over 40% improvement in neural storytelling.

  Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can generate and revise text with human-level performance. We study vocabulary changes in 14 million PubMed abstracts from 2010--2024, and show how the appearance of LLMs led to an abrupt increase in the frequency of certain style words. We show that LLMs have had an unprecedented impact on the scientific literature, surpassing the effect of major world events such as the Covid pandemic.

We define a question taxonomy with 8 question categories to guide the creation of 1,304 questions. We conduct an in-depth analysis to ascertain how specific attributes of literary fictions (e.g., novel types, character numbers, the year of publication) impact LLM performance in evaluations.

  We propose a Dynamic Causal Disentanglement Model based on hidden variable separation. This model effectively decomposes the content of dialogues and investigates the temporal accumulation of emotions. Specifically, we propose a dynamic temporal disentanglement model to infer the propagation of utterances and hidden variables.
