• Abstract: Story generation has emerged as an interesting yet challenging NLP task in recent years. Some existing studies aim at generating fluent and coherent stories from keywords and outlines; while others attempt to control the global features of the story, such as emotion, style and topic. However, these works focus on coarse-grained control on the story, neglecting control on the details of the story, which is also crucial for the task. To fill the gap, this paper proposes a model for fine-grained control on the story, which allows the generation of customized stories with characters, corresponding actions and emotions arbitrarily assigned. Extensive experimental results on both automatic and human manual evaluations show the superiority of our method. It has strong controllability to generate stories according to the fine-grained personalized guidance, unveiling the effectiveness of our methodology. Our code is available at https://github.com/victorup/CHAE.

  We present the first model capable of predicting visual stories with consistently grounded and coreferent character mentions. Our model is finetuned on a new dataset which we build on top of the widely used VIST benchmark. We also propose new evaluation metrics to measure the richness of characters and coreference in stories.

  We introduce DELTASCORE, a novel methodology that employs perturbation techniques for the evaluation of nuanced story aspects. Our central proposition posits that the extent to which a story excels in a specific aspect (e.g., fluency) correlates with the magnitude of its susceptibility to particular perturbations. We measure the quality of an aspect by calculating the likelihood difference between pre- and post-perturbation states using pre-trained language models.

  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 introduce Plug-and-Play Story Teller (PPST) to improve image-to-story generation. We conduct image-to-story generation experiments with non-styled, romance-styled, and action-styled PPST approaches. The results show that PPST improves story coherence and has better image-story relevance, but has yet to be adequately stylistic.
