regarding the literary historical debates, one of the main concerns of modern historiography is the way of representing the concept of reality within the framework of a coherent narrative, a reality that is only achievable through the process of narrative that is supposed to be constructive and ordering. therefore, in order to examine this ordering process of narrative in james joyce's novel, a...

AI planning has featured in a number of Interactive Storytelling prototypes: since narratives can be naturally modelled as a sequence of actions it has been possible to exploit state of the art planners in the task of narrative generation. However the characteristics of a “good” plan, such as optimality, aren’t necessarily the same as those of a “good” narrative, where errors and convoluted seq...

This paper argues that the problem of identity is a critical challenge in agents which are able to reason about stories. The Xapagy architecture has been built from scratch to perform narrative reasoning and relies on a somewhat unusual approach to represent instances and identity. We illustrate the approach by a representation of the story of Little Red Riding Hood in the architecture, with a ...

This paper introduces an approach for the incorporation of interesting and compelling characters in automatically generated interactive narrative. The approach is based on the development of a computational model that enables virtual characters to have distinct and welldefined personalities. In this model, character personality is founded on the hypothesis that choices that lead to actions can ...

Legal probabilism (LP) claims the degrees of conviction in juridical fact-finding are to be modeled exactly the way degrees of beliefs are modeled in standard bayesian epistemology. Classical legal probabilism (CLP) adds that the conviction is justified if the credence in guilt given the evidence is above an appropriate guilt probability threshold. The views are challenged on various counts, es...

Previous approaches to computational models of narrative have successfully considered the internal coherence of the narrative’s structure. However, narratives are also externally focused and authors often design their stories to affect users in specific ways. In order to better characterize the audience in the process of modeling narrative, we introduce Indexter: a computational model of the Ev...

Purpose – Seeks to argue for a phenomenology of embodied implicit and narrative knowing in organizations and to show the significance of experiential dimensions of implicit and narrative knowing and their mutual interrelations in organizations. Design/methodology/approach – For this the advanced phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty will be used as a framework for clarifying the relational status of t...
