Story and Discourse: A Bipartite Model of Narrative Generation in Virtual Worlds

چکیده
Department of Computer Science North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC, 27695 [email protected] 919.513.3038 In this paper, we set out a basic approach to the modeling of narrative in interactive virtual worlds. This approach adopts a bipartite model taken from narrative theory, in which narrative is composed of story and discourse. In our approach, story elements – plot and character – are defined in terms of plans that drive the dynamics of a virtual environment. Discourse elements – the narrative’s communicative actions – are defined in terms of discourse plans whose communicative goals include conveying the story world plan’s structure. To ground the model in computational terms, we provide examples from research under way in the Liquid Narrative Group involving the design of the Mimesis system, an architecture for intelligent interactive narrative incoroprating concepts from artificial intelligence, narrative theory, cognitive psychology and computational linguistics.

متن کاملA Tripartite Plan-Based Model of Narrative for Narrative Discourse Generation
This paper presents a tripartite model of narrative in which three different kinds of actions are modeled: story actions, discourse actions, and narration actions. We argue that this model can support particularities of narrative discourse where typical discourse models do not (e.g., ambiguity/change of beliefs), and accounts for the difference in expressivity of the media used to convey the na...
متن کاملA State-Event Transformation Mechanism for Generating Micro Structures of Story in an Integrated Narrative Generation System
This paper describes the current version of state-event transformation system to transform story lines and story worlds each other using a knowledge base and a conceptual dictionary. Moreover, we extend the basic framework to a circulative generation mechanism with a simple mutation function. Through the preliminary performance checks, we confirmed that the transformation of story worlds and st...
متن کاملDiscourse-Driven Narrative Generation With Bipartite Planning
During content planning, a typical discourse generation system receives as input a library of facts and selects facts to include as the content for utterances. However, storytellers do not need to be completely constrained by a set of facts and instead can invent facts which support the storytellers goals, subsequently constructing the storyworld around those facts. We present a discourse-drive...
