Event representations for automated story generation with deep neural nets

L Martin, P Ammanabrolu, X Wang… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - ojs.aaai.org
Automated story generation is the problem of automatically selecting a sequence of events,
actions, or words that can be told as a story. We seek to develop a system that can generate …

PlotMachines: Outline-conditioned generation with dynamic plot state tracking

H Rashkin, A Celikyilmaz, Y Choi, J Gao - arXiv preprint arXiv:2004.14967, 2020 - arxiv.org
We propose the task of outline-conditioned story generation: given an outline as a set of
phrases that describe key characters and events to appear in a story, the task is to generate …

Narrative planning: Balancing plot and character

MO Riedl, RM Young - Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, 2010 - jair.org
Narrative, and in particular storytelling, is an important part of the human experience.
Consequently, computational systems that can reason about narrative can be more effective …

Towards controllable story generation

N Peng, M Ghazvininejad, J May… - Proceedings of the First …, 2018 - aclanthology.org
