Struggling with the right search tools, confs, and wording - Looking for anyone with a good classifier to detect setting descriptions in fiction. Anyone in #DH #NLP know?

@arnicas I could’ve sworn I saw something with David Bamman’s name on it recently for this. Let me poke around.

@chengyjonathan I'm still going to use BookNLP's loc finding to try to train my own quick classifier

@arnicas that’s actually verbatim what I did once upon a time. Just did a token classification over locations and their various dependencies as a proxy for “words describing places”

It wasn’t terrible!

@chengyjonathan i’m curious about using spacy’s spancat to see if i can get more precise from there - if i have time :)

@arnicas oh wow! I’d love to hear how that goes! TIL about span categorizer. I really need to revisit at some point.
