Abstract

In order to construct story databases, it is crucial to have an effective index that represents the plot and event sequences in a document. For this purpose, we have already proposed a method using the concept of maximal analogy to represent a generalized event sequence of documents with a maximal set of events. However, it is expensive to calculate a maximal analogy from documents with a large number of sentences. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to generate a maximal analogy, based on graph theory, and we confirm its effectiveness experimentally. We also discuss how to use a maximal analogy as an index for a story database, and outline our future plans.
