Four Quantitative Metrics Describing Narrative Conflict
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conflict is an essential element of interesting stories. In previous work, we proposed a formal model of narrative conflict along with 4 quantitative dimensions which can be used to distinguish one conflict from another based on context: balance, directness, intensity, and resolution. This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to measure how well these metrics predict the responses of human readers when asked to measure these same values in a set of four stories. We conclude that our metrics are able to rank stories similarly to human readers for each of these four dimensions.

Qualitative analysis of procedurally generated narratives remains a difficult hurdle for most narrative generation tools. Typical analysis involves the use of human studies, rating the quality of the generated narratives against a given set of criteria, a costly and time consuming process. In this paper we integrate a set of features within the REGEN system which aim to ensure narrative correct...

متن کاملA Narrative-Based View of Coexistence Education
Collective narratives of groups in conflict—their perceived histories, beliefs, selfimage, and those of their adversaries—play a central role in interpreting and fueling the conflict—and, thus, can play an equally central role in facilitating coexistence. One of their main correlates is their implied delegitimization of the “other’s” collective narrative, its pains, its sufferings, its history,...
