## 🌡️📖 Danish literary sentiment

This repository holds the data for comparing Sentiment Analysis methods on Danish literature - specifically fairy tales and religious hymns of the 19th century.

Our study compares human annotations to the continuous valence scores of both transformer- and dictionary-based sentiment analysis methods to assess their performance, seeking to understand how distinct methods handle the language of Danish prose and poetry.

## 🔎 What is included

- Original and modernized Danish text

- Continuous valence annotation (0-10) by human annotators (n=2-3) per sentence/verse

- Automatic annotation scores per sentence/verse (using dictionary- and transformer-based Sentiment Analysis tools)

This data allows for the comparison of human/human and human/model sentiment scoring on Danish literary texts.





## 🔬 Data

We use two datasets: i) H.C. Andersen fairy tales, and ii) Religious hymns

|             | No. texts | No. annotations   | No. words  | Mean no. verses/sents per text | Period     |

|-------------|-----|------|--------|--------------|------------|

| **HCA**     | 3   | 791   | 18,910 | 263.7        | 1837-1847  |

| **Hymns**   | 65  | 1,914 | 10,303 | 32.9         | 1798-1873  |

## 📖 Documentation

Code for the **hymns** and **fairy tales** analysis (separately) -- annotator agreement and human/model correlations -- is available in this folder, while the SHAP values analysis of RoBERTa scores is available in [a seperate GitHub repository](https://github.com/centre-for-humanities-computing/fabula-shap).
