"Who Speaks to Whom?"

Important work by our Romanian colleagues Udrea et al. on improving social network analysis of tragic plays:
https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics14193847

They use LLMs for addressee detection in Polish, German, Romanian & English drama (all via #DraCor) to build directed (!) weighted graphs.

Today is #DraCor day!
