This repository contains a Hierarchical Long Short-Term Memory (HLSTM) model with ordinal learning trained on the Unbalanced Hollywood Movie Scripts Age Rating Dataset (1,142 scripts) for automated MPAA age rating prediction from full-length English movie scripts.

The model was developed as part of the following publication:

Hierarchical Ordinal Framework for Automated Movie Censorship Using Full-Length Scripts

Dataset

Unbalanced Hollywood Movie Scripts Age Rating Dataset (1,142)
1,142 English movie scripts
Five MPAA age rating categories:
- G
- PG
- PG-13
- R
- NC-17

Dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/pratikkalamkar/UnBalanced_Hollywood_Movies_Scripts_Age_Rating_Dataset_1142

Task

Predict the appropriate MPAA age rating for a complete English movie script using a Hierarchical LSTM architecture with ordinal learning.
