A drama manager (DM) monitors an interactive experience, such as a computer game, and intervenes to shape the global experience so that it satisfies the author's expressive goals without decreasing a player's interactive agency. Most research work on drama management has proposed AI architectures and provided abstract evaluations of their effectiveness. A smaller body of work has evaluated the ...

This paper describes an approach for the elicitation and application of authorial goals for interactive narrative. A framework is presented for using author input to elaborate descriptions of planning problems and domains. The authors describe a mixed-initiative graphical user interface that exploits this framework to allow authors to express narrative goals and understand how these goals affec...

This article underlines the importance of approaching written sources for what they are: authorial constructs. is true also depictions mobility and migration. Byzantine authors instrumentalized these their own purposes beyond event at hand. Authorial focus, along with requirements chosen literary genre, reason different scales actors that appear in texts, whether large blurry masses nameless pe...

My research provides an interface for non-technical authors to collaborate with a planning system to create interactive narrative. I describe a domain metatheory to allow for qualitative elaborations of narrative domains. A graphical user interface that exploits this metatheory is used to specify authorial preferences. These preferences are employed to enhance the qualitative reasoning of the p...

The present study explored the intensity level of authorial voice in relation to the quality of argumentative writing. 42 undergraduate learners of English as a foreign language (36 girls and 6 boys) spent 45 minutes to individually complete in-class position-taking writing tasks for three weeks. Their overall academic writing quality scores assigned based on portfolio assessment were studied i...

It is widely agreed that the interaction possibilities in interactive narrative are limited by the current approach to dialog creation, which typically relies on teams of scriptwriters. This paper reports on experiments testing whether authorial leverage can be increased by methods for natural language generation of dialog in a story world called Heart of Shadows. Our experiments show that (1) ...

The papers represent a particular language theory, systemic functional linguistics. The papers also reflect a particular view of the relation between language, knowledge, and the world; in particular, the papers describe the ways in which evaluative language expresses the value systems of individuals and communities. Finally, the authors have used a particular methodology in their research, the...

We propose a novel unsupervised method for separating out distinct authorial components of a document. In particular, we show that, given a book artificially “munged” from two thematically similar biblical books, we can separate out the two constituent books almost perfectly. This allows us to automatically recapitulate many conclusions reached by Bible scholars over centuries of research. One ...
