This repository contains material used to perform the analysis of perception shifts in the olfactory domain presented in the following paper:
T. Paccosi, S. Menini, E. Leonardelli, I. Barzon and S. Tonelli: Scent and Sensibility: Perception Shifts in the Olfactory Domain (2023). In Proceedings of 4th International Workshop on Computational Approaches to Historical Language Change 2023 (LChange 2023).
The files are oganized in 3 folders:
A manually created benchmark with 16 smell sources. For every source the type of perception shift (shift type) and the periods in which the shift occurs are provided (periods 1-3). For each period, we also provide a description of the main characterization of the smell underlining the possible shift occurring in that time window (topic period 1-3).
The folder contains all the frame elements and sentences in which the 5 smell sources we considered in our analysis (candle, ozone, incense, glove, and tobacco) are labelled as smell sources in the corpus.
Contains two files with the vectors of each smell source in the time span used in the paper.
-
a file containing the vectors generated from the frame elements
-
a file generated from all the text in the corpus
