Interpersonal trust relationship model in restricted domain of literary works

Interpersonal trust relationship is an important dimension of interpersonal relationships. With new introduced plots of literature, we can evaluate the environment of characters and predict plot development to some extent. This paper proposes a representation of interpersonal trust relationship based on the fuzzy set theory in the restricted domain of A Dream of Red Mansions. Interpersonal trust degrees are obtained by the comprehensive evaluation based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. This paper proposes a thought that solves the divergences of domain experts, and proposes an approach that establishes the initial trust degree between characters. Based on above, this paper analyzes the trust bias and overall trust degree between characters and mines the relationship between characters and content of the whole trust network of characters. The experiments show that the model is efficient in reflecting the interpersonal trust relationship of A Dream of Red Mansions. The interpersonal trust relationship of A Dream of Red Mansions is modeled and analyzed by the fuzzy set theory, which provides a novel thought on mathematical study of interpersonal trust relationship in literary works.
