We describe an unsupervised system for learning narrative schemas, coherent sequences or sets of events (arrested(POLICE,SUSPECT), convicted( JUDGE, SUSPECT)) whose arguments are filled with participant semantic roles defined over words (JUDGE = {judge, jury, court}, POLICE = {police, agent, authorities}). Unlike most previous work in event structure or semantic role learning, our system does n...

geographical concept of “haft karšvar” could be traced back to the proto-indo-iranian period. after the separation of indians and iranians, due to geographical circumstances and religio-political changes, original indo-iranian narrative of seven part of the earth, turned into its current versions. a comparison of old iranian and indian texts, specially avesta and vīspā̊ŋhō  purāṇa, shows that in...

Qualitative analysis of procedurally generated narratives remains a difficult hurdle for most narrative generation tools. Typical analysis involves the use of human studies, rating the quality of the generated narratives against a given set of criteria, a costly and time consuming process. In this paper we integrate a set of features within the REGEN system which aim to ensure narrative correct...

Beyond the creation of narratives intended to entertain, narrative is used as a powerful mode of communication in a range of other contexts.

It is argued that different genres call for different representations and processing strategies; particularly important is the distinction between subjective, pefformative discourse and objective discourse, of ...

Although suspense contributes significantly to the enjoyment of a narrative by its readers, its role in dynamic story generation systems has been largely ignored. This paper presents Suspenser, a computational model of narrative generation that takes as input a given story world and constructs a narrative structure intended to evoke the desirable level of suspense from the reader at a specific ...

Narrative structure is an ubiquitous and intriguing phenomenon. By virtue of structure we recognize the presence of Villainy or Revenge in a story, even if that word is not actually present in the text. Narrative structure is an anvil for forging new artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, and is a window into abstraction and conceptual learning as well as into culture and its ...
