Large language models for folktale type automation based on motifs: Cinderella case study
Artificial intelligence approaches are being adapted to many research areas, including digital humanities. We built a methodology for large-scale analyses in folkloristics. Using machine learning and natural language processing, we automatically detected motifs in a large collection of Cinderella variants and analysed their similarities and differences with clustering and dimensionality reduction. The results show that large language models detect complex interactions in tales, enabling computational analysis of extensive text collections and facilitating cross-lingual comparisons.

Do Large Language Models Know Folktales? A Case Study of Yokai in Japanese Folktales
Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong language understanding and generation abilities across various languages, their cultural knowledge is often limited to English-speaking communities, which ca…
Multiple-choiceFolktale similarity based on ontological abstraction
This paper presents a method to compute similarity of folktales based on conceptual overlap at various levels of abstraction as defined in Dutch WordNet. The method is applied on a corpus of Dutch folktales and evaluated…
ClassificationEvaluating and Adapting Large Language Models to Represent Folktales in Low-Resource Languages
Folktales are a rich resource of knowledge about the society and culture of a civilisation. Digital folklore research aims to use automated techniques to better understand these folktales, and it relies on abstract repre…
Talking to Extraordinary Objects: Folktales Offer Analogies for Interacting with Technology
Speech and language are valuable for interacting with technology. It would be ideal to be able to decouple their use from anthropomorphization, which has recently met an important moment of reckoning. In the world of fol…
Analyzing Folktales of Different Regions Using Topic Modeling and Clustering
This paper employs two major natural language processing techniques, topic modeling and clustering, to find patterns in folktales and reveal cultural relationships between regions. In particular, we used Latent Dirichlet…
