I wonder if it would be possible to generate a cover based on the plot?
Character name detection is pretty easy
Gender detection for the characters depends on the year of the book, but is possible with reasonable accuracy (although one would need to be careful of translations).
Key scene detection in text isn't something I know much about. I've read some research on recognising emotion in text, and it might be possible to use something like that on a rolling basis to find the most important parts of the book.
Using that information to create an illustration... would be challenging.
I can imagine algorithms to draw the character by extracting descriptions from the book. Putting them into the context described by some key scene would have a few additional problems.
