(2017). [Expanding and Weighting Stereotypical Properties of Human Characters for Linguistic Creativity](https://computationalcreativity.net/iccc2017/ICCC_17_accepted_submissions/ICCC-17_paper_29.pdf). In A. Goel, A. Jordanous, & A. Pease (Eds.), Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC'17) (pp. 25-32). Atlanta, GA: Georgia Institute of Technology . Content The file contains a list of famous characters (such as Abraham Lincoln) and human categories (such as Activist) and a set of adjectival properties that are typically used to describe them. The adjectival properties have a weight indicating how descriptive they are of a given famous character.
