• Authors: Faeze Brahman, Alexandru Petrusca, and Snigdha Chaturvedi
• Abstract summary: We focus on the task of interactive story generation, where the user provides the model mid-level sentence abstractions. We present two content-inducing approaches to effectively incorporate this additional information. Experimental results from both automatic and human evaluations show that these methods produce more topically coherent and personalized stories.

• Abstract: Automatically generating stories is a challenging problem that requires producing causally related and logical sequences of events about a topic. Previous approaches in this domain have focused largely on one-shot generation, where a language model outputs a complete story based on limited initial input from a user. Here, we instead focus on the task of interactive story generation, where the user provides the model mid-level sentence abstractions in the form of cue phrases during the generation process. This provides an interface for human users to guide the story generation. We present two content-inducing approaches to effectively incorporate this additional information. Experimental results from both automatic and human evaluations show that these methods produce more topically coherent and personalized stories compared to baseline methods.

  We introduce a novel task for data story generation and a benchmark containing 1,449 stories from diverse sources. To address the challenges of crafting coherent data stories, we propose a multiagent framework employing two LLM agents. While our agentic framework generally outperforms non-agentic counterparts in both model-based and human evaluations, the results also reveal unique challenges in data story generation.

  We focus on a novel, yet challenging task of generating a coherent image sequence based on a given storyline, denoted as open-ended visual storytelling. We propose a learning-based auto-regressive image generation model, termed as StoryGen, with a novel vision-language context module. We show StoryGen can generalize to unseen characters without any optimization, and generate image sequences with coherent content and consistent character.

  Controlled automated story generation seeks to generate natural language stories satisfying constraints from natural language critiques or preferences. We train a contrastive bi-encoder model to align stories with human critiques, building a general purpose preference model. We further fine-tune the contrastive reward model using a prompt-learning technique to increase story generation robustness.

  We present two automated techniques grounded in deep reinforcement learning and reward shaping to control the plot of computer-generated stories. The first utilizes proximal policy optimization to fine-tune an existing transformer-based language model to generate text continuations but also be goal-seeking. The second extracts a knowledge graph from the unfolding story, which is used by a policy network with graph attention to select a candidate continuation generated by a language model.
