This page contains sets of narrative schemas available for download and their associated documentation.
You may also want to compare these with Nate Chambers' schemas.
Schemas released here are under a CC-BY 4.0 License. You can do whatever you want with them, so long you link back to this page in some visible form.
Generated schemas are available in two formats currently: python pickles and string dumps.
Python pickles are serializations of python objects. This is how the schemas are piped around from generation to other scripts. If you're coding in Python, it's extremely easy to load the list of schemas in:
schemas = pickle.load(open("schemas.pkl","rb"))
Alternatively, you can get string dumps that have most of the original content of the schemas. These are printed in a format that was easy to hack togehter and generate and is marginally legible:
2 A pummel C _ _ shelter C B A burn C B A heat _ A beguile C A disparage _ _ A=['PERSON', 'PERSON', 'PERSON', 'PERSON'] C=['PEOPLE', 'PEOPLE', u'people'] B=['LOCATION'] E=[] D=[] G=[] F=[] H=[]
The following rows–typically the maximum six, but fewer are possible if no verb were found to fit–indicate events in each schema. Each row contains, separated by tabs:
Each of the slot indicators is filled by either a capital letter–referring to a chain expressed underneath the events–an underscore–referring to a slot attested in the data, but not linked with any other slots during schema induction–or nothing, indicating a slot that was not attested in the data. The chain types, expressed below the schema, are lists of tuples of (type, score). These are not ordered.
