This paper describes work done by a team from Dublin City University as part of TREC-6. In this TREC exercise we completed series of runs in 4 categories. The first was the mainline ad hoc retrieval task in which we repeated our entry for TREC-5, without modification. This is based on applying various thresholds to processing a query including query term and posting list thresholds, in order to...

The porpose study to describe students’ Rules Sinus and Cosinus. method a descriptive with quantitative approach. This subject was class X MIPA 1 SMAN Sipora which 24 students, 10 male 14 female students. Sampling technique purposive sampling. instruments used collect data are descri...

Sense-making is an act of everyday creativity. Research suggests that comprehending the world is an act of story construction. Story comprehension, the process of modeling the world of a fictional narrative, thus involves creative story construction ability. In this paper, we present an intelligent system that “reads” a story and incrementally builds a model of the story world. Based on psychol...

User stories are a widespread instrument for representing requirements. They describe small user-oriented parts of the system and guide the daily work of developers. Often however, user stories are too coarse, so that misunderstandings or dependencies remain unforeseeable. Granularity of user stories needs to be investigated more, but at the same time is a hard-to-grasp concept. This paper inve...

An effective story undcrstander must be able to reason about characters in the story, their affects, actions, plans, and goals, as well as the settings and important points of the story. In many systems this has been done with separate inference mechanisms for each class of knowledge structure. This paper proposes a story understander with a unified frame-based inference component used on each ...

This paper introduces the concept of Narrative Game-based Learning Objects (NGLOBs) as the basis for the creation and control of Story-based Digital Educational Games (DEGs). In the context of the European research project 80Days, section 1 describes major aims and challenges of Story-based DEGs and motivates for the introduction and use of NGLOBs. In the main part, section 2 provides an overvi...

In our previous work (e.g., 4], 5], 6], 7]), we have formalized the story understanding process based on scripts and plans with stepwise default theories. While those theories ooer nal results for understanding a speciic story, they do not provide the history of changes of partial states of any objects the story may concern. Moreover, the causal models for missing events are incomplete in scrip...

As game designers shift focus from graphical realism to immersive stories, the number of game-object interactions grows exponentially. Games use manually written scripts to control interactions. ScriptEase provides game designers with generative patterns that generate scripting code to control common interactions. This paper describes a new kind of generative pattern, quest patterns, that gener...

Emergent narrative refers to simulation-based systems in which stories emerge from the autonomous interactions among character agents and/or the human player. Despite its advantages in interactive games, emergent narrative attracts concern about whether complex narratives emerge from arbitrary interactions. This problem can be alleviated if the character agents act according to what a story sho...

The design and content of the planning library of a story generation system dictates the content quality of the story it produces. This paper presents the story planner component of Picture Books, a system that generates stories for children aged 4 to 6 years based on a set of picture elements selected by the user. The planning library separates the design for the story patterns from the design...
