Simulating the Everyday Creativity of Readers

چکیده
Sense-making is an act of everyday creativity. Research suggests that comprehending the world is an act of story construction. Story comprehension, the process of modeling the world of a fictional narrative, thus involves creative story construction ability. In this paper, we present an intelligent system that “reads” a story and incrementally builds a model of the story world. Based on psychological theories of story comprehension, our system computationally simulates the everyday creative process of a human reader with a combination of story generation search and strategies for inferring character goals. We describe the work in the context of a Synthetic Audience – a system that assists amateur storywriters by reading the story, analyzing the resultant sense-making models, and providing critique.
