Abstract

Rhyme is deceptively intuitive: what is or is not a rhyme is constructed historically, scholars struggle with rhyme classification, and people disagree on whether two words are rhymed or not. This complicates automated rhymed recognition and evaluation, especially in multilingual context. This article investigates how much training data is needed for reliable unsupervised rhyme recognition using RhymeTagger, a language-independent tool that identifies rhymes based on repeating patterns in poetry corpora. We evaluate its performance across seven languages (Czech, German, English, French, Italian, Russian, and Slovene), examining how training size and language differences affect accuracy. To set a realistic performance benchmark, we assess inter-annotator agreement on a manually annotated subset of poems and analyze factors contributing to disagreement in expert annotations: phonetic similarity between rhyming words and their distance from each other in a poem. We also compare RhymeTagger to three large language models using a one-shot learning strategy. Our findings show that, once provided with sufficient training data, RhymeTagger consistently outperforms human agreement, while LLMs lacking phonetic representation significantly struggle with the task.

Abstract-only analysis — low confidence

All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.

  • This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
