Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
Welcome to the Sixth Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative. This year finds us co-located with the Third Annual Conference of Advanced in Cognitive Systems (CogSys 2015). This association made it appropriate to have a special focus on the intersection of cognitive systems and narrative. This intersection is rich and broad, covering the gamut from psychological and cognitive impact of narratives to our ability to model narrative responses computationally. Papers contributed to this volume tackle questions of narrative analysis in the domains of medical information and journalism, and of various story generation systems and frameworks. They look to extend prior paradigms, in one case connecting event segmentation theory to the computational modeling of narrative, and in another, proposing a model for synthesizing temporal, ontological, and psychological aspects of story. And they report on experiments such as the application of syntactic and semantic feature detection to the exploration of higher-level storytelling tropes such as romantic love and animacy.

Tell Me a Story: Toward More Expressive and Coherent Computational Narratives (Invited Talk)

Authors: Janet H. Murray

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
Since narrative is a foundational framework for the on-going co-evolution of human cognition and culture, the advent of computation as a new medium for representing narratives offers the promise of ratcheting up human understanding and expressive power, just as previous media of representation like language and writing have done. But digital representation often produces artifacts that are story-like but not really stories, leaving open the question of how we can make use of computational models of narrative to expand our capacity for shared meaning-making. I will address this problem by looking at the complementary strengths and weaknesses of simulation making, game design, and storytelling as cultural abstraction systems, and suggest some directions for incorporating richer story structures into research on computational narratives.

From Episodic Memory to Narrative in a Cognitive Architecture

Authors: Tory S. Anderson

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
Human experiences are stored in episodic memory and are the basis for developing semantic narrative structures and many of the narratives we continually compose. Episodic memory has only recently been recognized as a necessary module in general cognitive architectures and little work has been done to examine how the data stored by these modules may be formulated as narrative structures. This paper regards episodic memory as fundamental to narrative intelligence and considers the gap between simple episodic memory representations and narrative structures, and proposes an approach to generating basic narratives from episodic sequences. An approach is outlined considering the Soar general cognitive architecture and Zacks’ Event Segmentation Theory.

Optimal Eventfulness of Narratives

Authors: Fritz Breithaupt, Eleanor Brower, and Sarah Whaley

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
This study examines whether there is an optimal degree of eventfulness of short narratives. We ask whether there is a specific degree of eventfulness (unexpectedness) that makes them "stick" better than other stories so that they are maintained more faithfully in serial reproduction (telephone games). The result is: probably not. The finding is that there is an impressive correlation of eventfulness rankings of original stories and resulting retellings in serial reproduction, despite the change of many other story elements and almost regardless of low or high eventfulness. Put more simply, people remember and retell “eventfulness” accurately, even when the actual events and circumstances of a story are changed.

The Evolution of Interpretive Contexts in Stories

Authors: Beth Cardier

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
Modeling the effect of context on interpretation, for the purposes of building intelligent systems, has been a long-standing problem: qualities of logic can restrict accurate contextual interpretation, even when there is only one context to consider. Stories offer a range of structures that could extend formal theories of context, indicating how arrays of inferred contexts are able to knit together, making an ontological reference that is specific to the particular set of circumstances embodied in the tale. This derived ontology shifts as the text unfolds, enabling constant revision and the emergence of unexpected meanings. The described approach employs dynamic knowledge representation techniques to model how these structures are built and changed. Two new operators have been designed for this purpose: governance and causal conceptual agents. As an example, a few lines from the story Red Riding Hood As a Dictator Would Tell It are used to demonstrate how a story interpretive framework can be continually re-made, in a way that produces unexpected interpretations of terms.

Structured Narratives as a Framework for Journalism: A Work in Progress

Authors: David A. Caswell

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
This paper describes Structured Stories, a platform for producing and consuming journalism as structured narratives based on instantiations of event frames. The event frames are defined using FrameNet and are instantiated as structured events using references to nodes in various knowledge graphs. Structured narratives with recursive, fractal and network characteristics are then assembled from these structured events. The approach requires the direct reporting of journalistic events into structure by untrained reporters, and utilizes a simplified sequential user interface to achieve this. A prototype has been built and published, and is being applied to the reporting of local government journalism to explore editorial aspects of the approach.

Impulse: a Formal Characterization of Story

Authors: Markus Eger, Camille Barot, and R. Michael Young

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
We present a novel representation of narratives at the story level called Impulse. It combines a temporal representation of a story’s actions and events with a representation of the mental models of the story’s characters into a cohesive, logic-based language. We show the expressiveness of this approach by encoding a story fragment, and compare it to other formal story representations in terms of representational dimensions. We also acknowledge the computational complexity of our approach and argue that a restricted subset still provides a high degree of expressive power

Schemas for Narrative Generation Mined from Existing Descriptions of Plot

Authors: Pablo Gervás, Carlos León, and Gonzalo Méndez

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
Computational generation of literary artifacts very often resorts to template-like schemas that can be instantiated into complex structures. With this view in mind, the present paper reviews a number of existing attempts to provide an elementary set of patterns for basic plots. An attempt is made to formulate these descriptions of possible plots in terms of character functions, an abstraction of plot-bearing elements of a story originally formulated by Vladimir Propp. These character functions act as the building blocks of the Propper system, an existing framework for computational story generation. The paper explores the set of extensions required to the original set of character functions to allow for a basic representation of the analysed schemata, and a solution for automatic generation of stories based on this formulation of the narrative schemas. This solution uncovers important insights on the relative expressive power of the representation of narrative in terms of character functions, and their impact on the generative potential of the framework is discussed.

Imaginative Recall with Story Intention Graphs

Authors: Sarah Harmon and Arnav Jhala

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
Intelligent storytelling systems either formalize specific narrative structures proposed by narratologists (such as Propp and Bremond), or are founded on formal representations from artificial intelligence (such as plan structures from classical planning). This disparity in underlying knowledge representations leads to a lack of common evaluation metrics across story generation systems, particularly around the creativity aspect of generators. This paper takes Skald, a reconstruction of the Minstrel creative story generation system, and maps the representation to a formal narrative representation of Story Intention Graphs (SIG) proposed by Elson et al. This mapping facilitates the opportunity to expand the creative space of stories generated through imaginative recall in Minstrel while maintaining narrative complexity. We show that there is promise in using the SIG as an intermediate representation that is useful for evaluation of story generation systems.

Animacy Detection in Stories

Authors: Folgert Karsdorp, Marten van der Meulen, Theo Meder, and Antal van den Bosch

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 45, 6th Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2015)


Abstract
This paper presents a linguistically uninformed computational model for animacy classification. The model makes use of word n-grams in combination with lower dimensional word embedding representations that are learned from a web-scale corpus. We compare the model to a number of linguistically informed models that use features such as dependency tags and show competitive results. We apply our animacy classifier to a large collection of Dutch folktales to obtain a list of all characters in the stories. We then draw a semantic map of all automatically extracted characters which provides a unique entrance point to the collection.
