A multi-story can be generated by the interactions of users in the interactive storytelling system. In this paper, we suggest narrative structure and corresponding Storytelling Markup Language. Actor, Action, and Constraint are declared and programmed using interactive storytelling system which generates the stories. Generated stories can be transformed to multimedia formats which are texts, im...

The style of narrative news affects how it is interpreted and received by readers. Two key stylistic characteristics of narrative text are point of view and diegesis: respectively, whether the narrative recounts events personally or impersonally, and whether the narrator is involved in the events of the story. Although central to the interpretation and reception of news, and of narratives more ...

Currently, there is some scientific interest on studying creativity and how it can be modeled by computer programs. One of the active subareas focuses on the generation of text, with some prior success systems. In this paper, we describe an example of this kind of system that automatically generates texts related to Greek mythology. We have elaborated on ideas coming from computer creativity, s...

Sentiment analysis research has acquired a growing importance due to its applications in several different fields. A large number of companies have included the analysis of opinions and sentiments of costumers as a part of their mission. Therefore, the analysis and automatic classification of large corpora of documents in natural language, based on the conveyed feelings and emotions, has become...

In contemporary philosophy there are a great many texts on aesthetics and the ontology of narrative discourse, that discuss Meinong’s theses, agreeing or disagreeing. But Meinong never wrote a single book or article on aesthetics or the ontology of art works, nor did he provide a structured system to deal with fictional aesthetic objects. What he wrote on these matters is to be found in texts d...

Experiments have shown that compared to fictional texts, readers read factual texts faster and have better memory for described situations. Reading fictional texts on the other hand seems to improve memory for exact wordings and expressions. Most of these studies used a "newspaper" vs. "literature" comparison. In the present study, we investigated the effect of reader's expectation to whether i...

Some types of first-person narrations of mental processes that constitute phenomenological accounts and texts, such as internal monolog statements, epitomize the best expressions and representations of human consciousness available and therefore may be used to model phenomenological streams of consciousness. The type of autonomous monolog in which an author or narrator declares actual mental pr...

Agent-based policy modelling is an application of agent-based social simulation. In this contribution it is applied to strategic policy making in the public sector. Open government principles relevant in this domain demand solutions that trace the origins of modelling decisions from narrative texts (background documents and stakeholder scenarios) through the whole policy modelling process up to...

We describe the Story Intention Graph, a set of discourse relations designed to represent aspects of narrative. Compared to prior models, ours is a novel synthesis of the notions of goal, plan, intention, outcome, affect and time that is amenable to corpus annotation. We describe a collection project, DramaBank, which includes encodings of texts ranging from small fables to epic poetry and cont...

We evaluated the process of inferential revision during text comprehension in adults. Participants with high or low working memory read short texts, in which the introduction supported two plausible concepts (e.g., 'guitar/violin'), although one was more probable ('guitar'). There were three possible continuations: a neutral sentence, which did not refer back to either concept; a no-revise sent...
