Three computer-based models of storytelling: BRUTUS, MINSTREL and MEXICA
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper attempts to establish criteria to analyse and evaluate computer models of creativity in writing. The paper provides a brief review of the antecedents of automatic story-generation and offers a proposal for the analysis and evaluation of computer models of creativity in writing. It reviews three major projects to develop computer-based storywriters published between 1993 and 2000 and analyses their approach, similarities, differences and contributions. It compares the three approaches and discusses implications for the modelling of creativity in writing and the design of future story generation systems.

The Role of Abduction in Automatic Storytelling
Some researches state that discovering what to say is part of the writing process. We are interested in studying this aspect of writing within the scope of computer models. MEXICA is a computer model for plot generation which, inspired by the idea of the discovering aspect of writing, avoids the use of predefined story-structures and explicit characters’ goal. This work claims that abduction is...
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 کاملMEXICA: A computer model of a cognitive account of creative writing
MEXICA is a computer model that produces frameworks for short stories based on the engagement-reflection cognitive account of writing. During engagement MEXICA generates material guided by content and rhetorical constraints, avoiding the use of explicit goals or storystructure information. During reflection the system breaks impasses, evaluates the novelty and interestingness of the story in pr...
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 کاملMEXICA : a computer model of creativity in writing
The goal of this research is to develop a computational model of the creative process of writing in terms of Engaged and Reflective States, which attempts to complement and extend previous models based on problem solving approach. The Engaged State can be described as a state in which the writer is intensely involved in the production of material related to the task. Such a production guided by...
