MEXICA-Impro: A Computational Model for Narrative Improvisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a system that dynamically generate narratives through improvisation. MEXICA-impro is based on a cognitive account of the creative process called engagement-reflection. Its architecture defines a framework where two agents participate in a simulated improvisation session to generate the plot of a story in which each one draws knowledge from two different databases representing cultural backgrounds. A worked example is explained in detail to show how this approach produces novel stories that could not be generated before.

A Computational Framework Enhancing Jazz Creativity
A computational approach is described for helping jazz improvisors create solos. Initial facets of the approach have been embodied in a freely-available software tool called Impro-Visor (”Improvisation Advisor”) which we developed. The paper describes the rationale and some of the computational challenges and issues associated with designing and implementing such a tool.
متن کاملSocial Mexica: A computer model for social norms in narratives
Several models for automatic storytelling represent social norms by embedding into their structures social knowledge. In contrast, this model explicitly describes computational structures to represent knowledge related to social norms, mechanisms to identify when a social norm is broken within a narrative and a set of constraints and filters to employ such social knowledge during the narrative ...
متن کاملA computational model of communication for automatically generating narratives
The collaborative generation of narratives is interesting for its potential to generate, utilising diverse knowledge bases, more interesting stories than those generated individually, and because it provides us with tools to analyze and understand how the creative communication occurs among computers and ultimately among human beings. This research aims to prove that computer agents (computer p...
متن کاملA Ballad of the Mexicas: Automated Lyrical Narrative Writing
Recently, computational systems began approaching challenges that were previously considered to lay exclusively in the human creative domain, such as the art of storytelling and lyrics writing. In this paper, we explore combining these two art forms through the automated creation of ballads. We introduce MABLE (MexicA’s BaLlad machinE), based on the plot generation system, MEXICA. Integrating b...
متن کاملTowards Evolutionary Story Generation
In this paper we describe on-going work on combining two existing models of computational creativity. The GENCAD model proposes the use of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) that uses a population of exemplars as a starting point for its search, unlike traditional EA's, which use a randomly-generated initial population. The EA, operating on this population, is then used to generate new potentially ...
