Natural language generation systems to date have concentrated on the tasks of explanation generation, tutorial dialogue, automated software documentation, and similar technical tasks. A largely unexplored area is narrative prose generation, or the production of texts used in stories such as novels, mysteries, and fairy tales. We present a feature analysis of one complex area of NLG found in nar...
متن کاملDialogue Generation in an Assistive Conversation Skills Training System for Caregivers of Persons with Alzheimer's Disease
We describe a proposed assistive conversational skills training system using artificial intelligence and natural language generation techniques to simulate spoken dialogue between two embodied agents, one character representing a caregiver and the other character a person with Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

متن کاملData-Driven Alibi Story Telling for Social Believability
As computer games adopt larger, more life-like virtual worlds, socially believable characters become progressively more important. Socially believable non-player characters (NPCs) must be able to act in social situations and communicate with human players. In this paper, we address one aspect of social believability: the construction and telling of alibi stories, or an artificial background tha...
متن کاملMaking the Case for Nlp in Dialogue Systems for Serious Games
As computational capability continues to increase, the tools available to designers of digital games have become more robust, allowing high fidelity graphics and sound to become common, and resulting in a market saturated with kinetic-based games. However, consumers and educators are eschewing such games for more complex and immersive stories, the creation of which has proven a difficult mounta...
