Extended Hierarchical Task Network Planning for Interactive Comedy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We focus on interactive comedy, a relatively new genre in interactive drama, in this study. To be able to maintain the story, we adopt hierarchical task network planning (HTN) for planning of a character agent. We then extend HTN such that the extended HTN allows for the direct use of character failures, higher interactions with the viewer, and more story variations. Our extensions lead to effective extraction of laughter from the viewer. We test our system with a short visual comedy similar to the popular Mr. Bean series.

An interactive comedy system is proposed in which the main character agent tends to mimic an agent controlled directly by the viewer. At the same time, the main character agent plays its original role through achieving its pre-assigned goal. Heuristic Search Planner i...
متن کاملA planning perspective on strategic data analysis
Over the past fteen years a variety of interactive IDA systems have been developed to support strategic reasoning for data analysis. We present an AI framework, hierarchical task network planning, that provides a unifying view of these e orts.

متن کاملPlanning characters' behaviour in interactive storytelling
In this paper, we describe a method for implementing the behaviour of artificial actors in the context of interactive storytelling. We have developed a fully implemented prototype based on the Unreal TournamentTM game engine, and carried experiments with a simple sitcom-like scenario. We discuss the central role of artificial actors in interactive storytelling and how real-time generation of th...
متن کاملAutomating Oncology Therapy Plans by means of Temporal Hierarchical Task Networks Planning
This paper is focused on the representation of oncology treatment protocols by a temporally extended, Hierarchical Task Networks (HTN) based knowledge representation as well as their interpretation by a temporal HTN planning process. The planning process allows to obtain temporally annotated therapy plans that support decisions of oncologists in the area of paediatrics oncology.
