Towards an Author Intention Based Computational Model of Story Generation

Abstract : This paper addresses the problem of plot controllable story generation model. Since most of the previous works focus on logically flawless plot, the main challenge is the need for more generic method to generate dramatic and interesting plot. Motivated by this background, this paper proposes a computational method for plot controllable story generation. Firstly, we use planning as a model of plot generation. Then we utilize author intentions as plot constraints to force the planner to consider substantially more complex plans. Finally we integrate author intentions into planning and develop a plot controllable Graphplan algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
