Visualizing Relationships of Characters in "Little Red Riding Hood"

Challenge description:

You work as an NLP specialist for a research group specialized in digital humanities. The research group wants you to use NLP and visualization techniques to analyze one of the Brothers Grimm's most renowned fairy tales in search for interesting patterns and relationships among characters: "Little Red Riding Hood".

First, you are required to use NLP techniques of your choice to extract the story's characters, as well as a few key insights for each character (e.g., number of times mentioned in the text, adjectives used to describe them, etc.).

Second, you need to extract the relationships of Little Red Riding Hood with all other characters in the story, as well as the intensity of the relationship. Indeed, the research group is expecting to see which characters are strongly related to and which are weakly related to Little Red Riding Hood (you are free to define a metric that describes strength/weakness of relationships). You must display characters' relationships and their degree of intensity (strong/weak) in a customized network graph.

Finally, you should present extracted insights and the network graph of characters' relationships in an interactive dashboard.

Key requirement: you must rely on the nodes of the Network Mining extension to display character relationships: https://hub.knime.com/knime/extensions/org.knime.features.network/latest/

Outcome: 

An interactive dashboard that displays key characteristics of the fairy tale's characters, as well as a network graph of their relationships.
