CB-POCL: A Choice-Based Algorithm for Character Personality in Planning-based Narrative Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quality and believability of a story can be significantly enhanced by the presence of compelling characters. Characters can be made more compelling by the portrayal of a distinguishable personality. This paper presents an algorithm that formalizes an approach previously described for the incorporation of character personality in narrative that is automatically generated. The approach is based on a computational model that operationalizes personality as behavior that results from the choices made by characters in the course of a story. This operationalization is based on the Big Five personality structure and results from behavioral psychology studies that link behavior to personality traits. 1998 ACM Subject Classification I.2.8 Artificial Intelligence

Story 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 ...

متن کاملA Goal-Based Model of Personality for Planning-Based Narrative Generation
We present an approach to incorporate interesting and compelling characters in planning-based narrative generation. The approach is based on a computational model that utilizes character actions to portray these as having distinct and well-defined personalities. Well-developed characters have features that enable them to significantly enhance the believability and quality of a story. In this pa...
متن کاملCPOCL: A Narrative Planner Supporting Conflict
Conflict is an essential element of interesting stories, but little research in computer narrative has addressed it directly. We present a model of narrative conflict inspired by narratology research and based on Partial Order Causal Link (POCL) planning. This model informs an algorithm called CPOCL which extends previous research in story generation. Rather than eliminate all threatened causal...
متن کاملIncorporating Global and Local Knowledge in Intentional Narrative Planning
The inclusion of independent, imperfect knowledge that represents virtual agents’ belief of the local state of a narrative planning world has become a key component of narrative generation through simulation of multiple characters. However such models of belief incur significant computational cost. This paper demonstrates that despite the computational complexity, narratives can be generated no...
