The VISTA Project: An Agent Architecture for Virtual Interactive Storytelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
VISTAs, Virtual Interactive Story Telling Agents, interact with users through natural language query/answer patterns derived from the analysis of narrative content developed from multimedia. This paper describes the rationale for agent development, their software components, and the overall architecture for VISTAs, which are used as a form of highlevel information retrieval for educational and entertainment purposes. The VISTA agent architecture merges multiple technologies to build an information system with a query/answering front-end user interface and a back-end natural language and knowledge processor provided by the Jinni 2002 Prolog complier.
