Detecting Rhyme and Meter in Hungarian Poetry: From Algorithms to Web Tools and Research This paper presents three algorithms designed to detect rhyme, as well as Hungarian quantitative and qualitative meters, developed for the ELTE Poetry Corpus, which includes the complete works of 53 canonical Hungarian authors. Besides presenting the principles and main steps of the algorithms, it provides data on the frequency and regularity of meter types in Hungarian poetry and an evaluation of the meter-detection algorithms. Based on the algorithm detecting rhyme patterns, a rhyming dictionary of Hungarian poetry was generated and an online query tool was developed for accessing the dictionary. Building on the algorithms for rhyme and meter detection, another online tool, the Poem Form Searcher for Hungarian Canonical Poetry, was created. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the rhyming dictionary and the Poem Form Searcher in research, the paper presents two case studies: one on inflectional rhymes and another on the attraction between trochaic and qualitative meters in Hungarian poetry. https://jcls.io/article/id/4315/
