Dataset Card for Science Fiction TV Show Plots Corpus

Table of Contents

Dataset Description

A collection of long-running (80+ episodes) science fiction TV show plot synopses, scraped from Fandom.com wikis. Collected Nov 2017. Each episode is considered a "story".

Contains plot summaries from:

Total: 2276 stories

Dataset is "eventified" and generalized (see LJ Martin, P Ammanabrolu, X Wang, W Hancock, S Singh, B Harrison, and MO Riedl. Event Representations for Automated Story Generation with Deep Neural Nets, Thirty-Second AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), 2018. for details on these processes.) and split into train-test-validation sets—separated by story so that full stories will stay together—for converting events into full sentences.

Format

Train 1738 257,184
Validation 194 32,855
Test 450 30,938

Raw Dataset Structure

all-sci-fi-data.txt

  • Each line of the stories contains data in the format: 5-tuple events in a list (subject, verb, direct object, modifier noun, preposition) ||| generalized 5-tuple events in a list ||| original sentence ||| generalized sentence
[[u'Voyager', u'run', 'EmptyParameter', u'deuterium', u'out'], [u'Voyager', u'force', u'go', 'EmptyParameter', 'EmptyParameter'], [u'Voyager', u'go', 'EmptyParameter', u'mode', u'into']]|||[['<VESSEL>0', 'function-105.2.1', 'EmptyParameter', "Synset('atom.n.01')", u'out'], ['<VESSEL>0', 'urge-58.1-1', u'escape-51.1-1', 'EmptyParameter', 'EmptyParameter'], ['<VESSEL>0', u'escape-51.1-1', 'EmptyParameter', "Synset('statistic.n.01')", u'into']]|||The USS Voyager is running out of deuterium as a fuel and is forced to go into Gray mode.|||the <VESSEL>0 is running out of Synset('atom.n.01') as a Synset('matter.n.03') and is forced to go into Synset('horse.n.01') Synset('statistic.n.01').
  • Stories end with <EOS> (end of story) tag on its own line
  • On the line after <EOS>, there is a defaultdict of entities found in the story by tag and in order (e.g. the second entity in the "<ORGANIZATION>" list in the dictionary would be <ORGANIZATION>1 in the story above—index starts at 0). These lines start with "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%".
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%defaultdict(<type 'list'>, {'<ORGANIZATION>': ['seven of nine', 'silver blood'], '<LOCATION>': ['sickbay', 'astrometrics', 'paris', 'cavern', 'vorik', 'caves'], '<DATE>': ['an hour ago', 'now'], '<MISC>': ['selected works', 'demon class', 'electromagnetic', 'parises', 'mimetic'], '<DURATION>': ['less than a week', 'the past four years', 'thirty seconds', 'an hour', 'two hours'], '<NUMBER>': ['two', 'dozen', '14', '15'], '<ORDINAL>': ['first'], '<PERSON>': ['tom paris', 'harry kim', 'captain kathryn janeway', 'tuvok', 'chakotay', 'jirex', 'neelix', 'the doctor', 'seven', 'ensign kashimuro nozawa', 'green', 'lt jg elanna torres', 'ensign vorik'], '<VESSEL>': ['uss voyager', 'starfleet']})

Files in Test-Train-Val Directory

  • File names: all-sci-fi-val.txt, all-sci-fi-test.txt, & all-sci-fi-train.txt
  • Each line of the stories contains data in the format: 5-tuple events in a list ||| generalized 5-tuple events in a list ||| original sentence ||| generalized sentence
[[u'Voyager', u'run', 'EmptyParameter', u'deuterium', u'out'], [u'Voyager', u'force', u'go', 'EmptyParameter', 'EmptyParameter'], [u'Voyager', u'go', 'EmptyParameter', u'mode', u'into']]|||[['<VESSEL>0', 'function-105.2.1', 'EmptyParameter', "Synset('atom.n.01')", u'out'], ['<VESSEL>0', 'urge-58.1-1', u'escape-51.1-1', 'EmptyParameter', 'EmptyParameter'], ['<VESSEL>0', u'escape-51.1-1', 'EmptyParameter', "Synset('statistic.n.01')", u'into']]|||The USS Voyager is running out of deuterium as a fuel and is forced to go into Gray mode.|||the <VESSEL>0 is running out of Synset('atom.n.01') as a Synset('matter.n.03') and is forced to go into Synset('horse.n.01') Synset('statistic.n.01').
  • No <EOS> tags or dictionary.
  • Separated 80-10-10 for train-test-val, but by story instead of individual lines.

Files in Input_OutputFiles Directory

Files ending with *_input.txt

  • 5-tuple generalized event on each line; formatted as a string instead of a list
<VESSEL>0 function-105.2.1 EmptyParameter Synset('atom.n.01') out

Files ending with *_output.txt

  • Corresponding generalized sentence for events in the matching _input.txt file
the <VESSEL>0 is running out of Synset('atom.n.01') as a Synset('matter.n.03') and is forced to go into Synset('horse.n.01') Synset('statistic.n.01').

Files in OriginalStoriesSeparated Directory

  • Contains unedited, unparsed original stories scraped from the respective Fandom wikis.
  • Each line is a story with sentences space-separated. After each story, there is a <EOS> tag on a new line.
  • There is one file for each of the 11 domains listed above.
