Interactive Narrative often involves dialogue with virtual dramatic characters. In this paper we compare two kinds of models of character style: one based on models derived from the Big Five theory personality, and the other derived from a corpus-based method applied to characters and films from the IMSDb archive. We apply these models to character utterances for a pilot narrative-based outdoor...

We have seen that irreducible representations of a compact Lie group G can be constructed starting from a highest weight space and applying negative roots to a highest weight vector. One crucial thing that this construction does not easily tell us is what the character of this irreducible representation will be. The character would tell us not just which weights occur in the representation, but...

Recent years have seen a growing interest in creating virtual agents to populate the cast of characters for interactive narrative. A key challenge posed by interactive characters for narrative environments is devising expressive dialogue generators. To be effective, character dialogue generators must be able to simultaneously take into account multiple sources of information that bear on dialog...

When game studies has tackled the player-character, it has tended to do so by means of an oppositon to the notion of the avatar, with the result that the ontological and semiotic nature of the character in itself has not been given due attention. This paper draws on understandings of character from the fields of narratology and literary theory to highlight the double-layered ontology of charact...

Let G be a finite group and let X compact G-space. In this note we study the (Z+ × Z/2Z)-graded algebra
 FqG (X) = ⊕n ≤ 0 qn · KG∫Gn(Xn) ⊗ C,
 defined in terms of equivariant K-theory with respect to wreath products as symmetric algebra, review some properties proved by Segal Wang. We prove Kunneth type formula for graded algebras, more specifically, H another Y H-space, give decompos...

The article carried out a comparative analysis of the basic provisions theory social systems by N. Luhmann and principles philosophy postmodernism. Considering categorical apparatus Luhmann’s concept, author finds points semantic intersection with number key concepts modern philosophy, as well mutual resonation principles. proves that comparison postmodernism can be according to several criteri...
