Reply to comment by MmM921 in [OC] Inspired by movie barcodes, I made some emotional barcodes for books by Campbell_MG

Yeah, this is exactly right. There's a comment in here with a link to the model I've used.

I would be interested to see the same viz with a 'less granular unit' if that makes sense. Sorry I'm chronically weak on terminology lol - but instead of having the model classify every sentence, maybe every paragraph. It is so granular as it is now that it's hard to read intuitively, but I also suspect mood is more meaningful in literature over longer units than a single sentence on average.

I have never used ML models except for janky bespoke corpus analytics software in college linguistics classes so if there are computational reasons this approach wouldn't work then I get that.

It also needs a category for general apathy. The four emotions here don't allow for complete neutrality which would 100% be possible with many sentences.

Like... The sentences above. Sad? Happy? Angry? Scared?
