On the Use of Character Affinities for Story Plot Generation

چکیده
One of the aspects that is used to keep the reader’s interest in a story is the network of relationships among the characters that take part in that story. We can model the relationship between two characters using their mutual affinities, which allow us to define which interactions are possible between two characters. In this paper we present a model to represent characters’ affinities and we describe how we have implemented this model using a multi-agent system that is used to generate stories. We also present the result of one experiment to measure the evolution of the affinities between two characters throughout a story.
