Matriarchy Classics：只交换经典小说中性别词的计算方法
Matriarchy Classics: A Computational Approach to Swap Only Gendered Words in Classic Novels
AI 导读
研究者提出一种可信任的计算方法，能对公有领域小说做性别互换，并以程序化保证只反转性别词、其余词汇保持不变。该方法包含保留空白的自定义 tokenizer、覆盖复数与所有格形式的性别映射、代词处理和角色改名策略，把性别互换一本小说的时间从数周人工缩短到几分钟，并在《Pride and Prejudice》和《The Great Gatsby》两部作品上做了演示。

Abstract:This paper proposes a trustworthy computational method to gender-swap public domain novels, with programmatic guarantees that only gendered words are inverted and all other words are left unchanged. This may seem like a simple task, but both large language models and naive rule-based methods fail to complete it. The proposed method includes a custom whitespace-preserving tokenizer, gender-swap mappings across plural and possessive forms, pronoun handling, and a character renaming strategy. It shortens the time required to gender-swap a novel from weeks of manual labor to minutes. The method is demonstrated on two public-domain novels. Pride and Prejudice is transported to matriarchal Regency England, where inheritance flows through daughters, mothers rule the household, and a frantic Mr. Bennet is determined to secure advantageous marriages for his sons. The Great Gatsby pivots to a matriarchal Jazz Age where newly-rich Ms. Gatsbee throws lavish parties in the hopes of reuniting with her lost love, David, who is now married to the violent Thelma Buchanan. Gender-swapped novels could serve as useful tools to investigate the gender biases of readers, authors, societies, and AI systems.
