Character Mining

The Character Mining project presents a formidable task for machine comprehension in the realm of multiparty dialogue. The project's primary goal is to discern both explicit and implicit contexts surrounding individual characters by analyzing their conversations. As an open-source initiative, it offers valuable resources for tackling the following tasks:
