Figure 3From: The emotional arcs of stories are dominated by six basic shapes Top 12 modes from the singular value decomposition of 1,327 Project Gutenberg books. We show in a lighter color modes weighted by their corresponding singular value, where we have scaled the matrix Σ such that the first entry is 1 for comparison (for reference, the largest singular value is 34.5). The mode coefficients normalized for each book are shown in the right panel accompanying each mode, in the range −1 to 1, with the ‘Tukey’ box plot.Back to article page
