The last ten years have seen a significant increase in computationally relevant research
seeking to build models of narrative and its use. These efforts have focused in and/or drawn …

Narrative, and in particular storytelling, is an important part of the human experience.
Consequently, computational systems that can reason about narrative can be more effective …

Computers are everywhere. Though you may not realize it, it's unlikely that you'll get through
the day without using one. Even if you don't have one at home, and you don't use a bank …

There is a peculiar method in the area of procedural narrative called emergent narrative:
instead of automatically inventing stories or deploying authored narrative content, a system …

Conflict is an essential element of interesting stories, but little research in computer narrative
has addressed it directly. We present a model of narrative conflict inspired by narratology …

Large language models (LLMs) are applied to all sorts of creative tasks, and their outputs
vary from beautiful, to peculiar, to pastiche, into plain plagiarism. The temperature parameter …

Conflict is an essential element of interesting stories. In this paper, we operationalize a
narratological definition of conflict and extend established narrative planning techniques to …

This thesis represents a planner based approach to the application of video semantics and
theme representation to the automated editing of visual stories at the level of events. The …

Ever since the advent of computers there have been research efforts to emulate
computationally the way in which people can create stories. Artificial intelligence (AI) and the …

Conflict is an essential element of interesting stories. In previous work, we proposed a formal
model of narrative conflict based on intentional planning that is designed to facilitate story …
