We demonstrate a proof-of-concept system that uses a shallow chunking-based technique for knowledge extraction from natural language text, in particular looking at the task of story understanding. This technique is extended with a reasoning engine that borrows techniques from dynamic ontology refinement to discover the semantic similarity of stories and to merge them together.

Systolic complexes were introduced in Januszkiewicz–Świa̧tkowski [12] and, independently, in Haglund [10]. They are simply connected simplicial complexes satisfying a certain condition that we call simplicial nonpositive curvature (abbreviated SNPC). The condition is local and purely combinatorial. It neither implies nor is implied by nonpositive curvature for geodesic metrics on complexes, but ...

In this paper I argue that student software developers should be concerned not just with tersely expressed requirements (‘user stories’), but with more involved ‘use cases’. By encouraging developers to consider system behavior in some detail, the use-case approach lays the foundations for a coherent analysis of the object-based components that realize those behaviors. Though not objects in the...

1 Email: [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents the research undertaken to produce a robotic story-teller. Based in the field of narrative intelligence, the aim is to produce a behaviour-based control architecture for an autonomous mobile robot which allows the robot to dynamically construct its autobiography and relate it to others in terms of a story expressed through behaviou...

Generating composite human motion such as locomotion and gestures is important for interactive applications, such as interactive storytelling and computer games. In interactive story environments, CG characters do not merely stand in one position. Rather, they should be able to compose gestures and locomotion based on the discourse of the story and the locations of objects in the scene. Thus, i...

In order to summarize a story, it is necessary to access a high level analysis of the story that highlights its central concepts. A technique of memory representation based on plot units appears to provide a rich foundation for such an analysis. Plot units are conceptual structures that overlap with each other when a narrative is cohesive. When overlapping intersections between plot units are i...

“the negro” is a short story written by zakariyya tamer the syrian writer based on surrealistic principles and is affected by freud’s theories of the psychoanalysis. the narrative type in this story is stream of consciousness and the style of writing is based on unconsciousness ground. thus, the characters and the events of the story have been aroused of the unconsciousness of the writer. accor...

Microblogging is prominent e-communication medium on which short story are updated by the user based on their personal matter and other happening or coming immediate information. The quantity of information is large and also most of the data are redundant or irrelevant because of their popularity. This paper provides effectual techniques for summarization of inside story on microblogs sites suc...
