Empirical Determination of Basic Heuristics for Narrative Content Planning
نویسنده
چکیده
Stories are sequential in nature but they are used to package human experience that involves many things happening at the same time, to several people or in several locations. The mechanics of this packaging process constitute an instance of content planning that has not ben addressed in sufficient detail in existing NLG work. The present paper reviews a number of traditional stories in the light of the basic concepts of narratology that would be involved in the decisions involved in planning the content for tellings of these stories, proposes a number of basic principles to understand what is happening, and explores a possible way in which these principles may translate to basic heuristics for narrative content planning.

Planning Graph Heuristics for Scaling Up Conformant Planning
This paper describes a set of heuristics for efficiently solving conformant planning problems. Conformant planning, as described in this paper extends classical planning to problems where there is uncertainty in the initial state. The motivation for improved heuristic techniques stems from the observation that previous conformant planners used largely uninformed heuristics. We show that the rea...
متن کاملFrom the Event Log of a Social Simulation to Narrative Discourse: Content Planning in Story Generation
This paper presents a proposal for implementing automated story telling of narrative threads within a multiplayer game based on selection and linearization of game logs. Our initial prototype operates on logs generated artificially by a social simulation built by a multiagent system. This provides a log of events for a large set of characters emulating real life behaviour over a certain period ...
متن کاملCognitive models of discourse comprehension for narrative generation
This article presents an approach to using cognitive models of narrative discourse comprehension to define an explicit computational model of a reader’s comprehension process during reading, predicting aspects of narrative focus and inferencing with precision. This computational model is employed in a narrative discourse generation system to select and sequence content from a partial plan repre...

متن کاملStory Planning with Vignettes: Toward Overcoming the Content Production Bottleneck
Storytelling is prominent part of the daily lives of humans. Entertainers, educators, and trainers often concern themselves with the production of novel stories for entertainment, education, and training. However, it is possible for the consumption of story content by end-users to outpace the rate of production of story content. One solution is to instill greater creativity in computer systems ...
