A Cognitive Approach to Narrative Planning with Believable Characters

Authors: Antoine Saillenfest and Jean-Louis Dessalles

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 41, 2014 Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative

Abstract

In this work, we address the question of generating understandable narratives using a cognitive approach. The requirements of cognitive plausibility are presented. Then an abduction-based cognitive model of the human deliberative reasoning ability is presented. We believe that implementing such a procedure in a narrative context to generate plans would increase the chances that the characters will be perceived as believable. Our suggestion is that the use of a deliberative reasoning procedure can be used as a basis of several strategies to generate interesting stories.

Using Unexpected Simplicity to Control Moral Judgments and Interest in Narratives

Authors: Antoine Saillenfest and Jean-Louis Dessalles

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 32, 2013 Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative

Abstract

The challenge of narrative automatic generation is to produce not only coherent, but interesting stories. This study considers the problem within the Simplicity Theory framework. According to this theory, interesting situations must be unexpectedly simple, either because they should have required complex circumstances to be produced, or because they are abnormally simple, as in coincidences. Here we consider the special case of narratives in which characters perform actions with emotional consequences. We show, using the simplicity framework, how notions such as intentions, believability, responsibility and moral judgments are linked to narrative interest.
