Automated scene segmentation is an ongoing challenge in computational literary studies (CLS) to approach literary texts by analyzing comparable units. In this paper, we present our approach (work in progress) to text segmentation using a classifier that identifies the position of a scene change in English-language fiction. By manually annotating novels from a 20th-century US-English romance fiction corpus, we prepared training data for fine-tuning transformer models, yielding promising preliminary results for improving automated text segmentation in CLS.
