Computing Story Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
A theory of understanding (parsing) texts as a process of collecting simple textual propositions into thematically and causally related units is described, based on the concept of macrostructures as proposed by Kintsch and van Dijk. These macrostructures are organized into tree hierarchies, and their interrelationships are described in rule-based story grammars related to the Kowalski logic based on Horn clauses. A procedure for constructing and synthesizing such trees from semantic network forms is detailed. The implementation of this procedure is capable of understanding and summarizing any story it can generate using the same basic control structure.

Rhetorical Structure Analysis of EFLs’ Written Narratives of a Picture Story
This study was set to reveal how second language learners use rhetorical relations in their written narratives in terms of Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) primarily proposed by Mann & Thompson (1987) and developed by Mann, Matthiessen & Thompson (1992). To this end, sixty written narratives based on the picture story book ‘Frog, where are you?’ were collected from EFL learners and were put to...
متن کاملEvaluating the Authoring Complexity of Interactive Narratives with Interactive Behaviour Trees
1. INTERACTIVE BEHAVIOR TREES Interactive Behavior Trees (IBT’s) address challenges in traditional Behavior Tree representations by facilitating freeform user interaction and state persistence. IBT’s, as illustrated in Fig. 1(a) are divided into 3 independent sub-trees that are connected using a Parallel control node. An IBT tIBT = 〈tui, tstate, tnarr = {t i |t 1 . . . t m }, β〉 where: (1) tnar...

Prediction of wave parameters is necessary for many applications in coastal and offshore engineering. In the literature, several approaches have been proposed to wave predictions classified as empirical based, soft-computing based and numerical based approaches. Recently, soft computing techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used to develop wave prediction models. In thi...
متن کاملVertical stratification of forest canopy for segmentation of under-story trees within small-footprint airborne LiDAR point clouds
Airborne LiDAR point cloud of a forest contains three dimensional data, from which vertical stand structure (including information about under-story trees) can be derived. This paper presents a segmentation approach for multi-story stands that strips the point cloud to its canopy layers, identifies individual tree segments within each layer using a DSM-based tree identification method as a buil...
متن کاملThe Relationship between European yellow mistletoe (Loranthus europaeus Jacq.) and habitat factors and structure in Zagros forests (Case study: Ghalajeh forests, Kermanshah province)
The semi-parasitic European yellow mistletoe (Loranthus europaeus Jacq.) is one of the harmful and damaging factors to the Zagros forests. This study to analyze the causes of infected trees by European yellow mistletoe was conducted in the Ghalajeh forests in Kermanshah province. To carry out this study, completely infected trees were examined by using the tree-to-tree sampling method. Required...
