• Title: Multigenre AI-powered Story Composition
• Authors: Edirlei Soares de Lima, Margot M. E. Neggers, Antonio L. Furtado,
• Abstract summary: We argue for the existence of five fundamental genres, namely comedy, romance, tragedy, satire, and mystery. To construct the patterns, a simple two-phase process is employed: first retrieving examples that match our genre characterizations, and then applying a form of most specific generalization to the groups of examples. In both phases, AI agents are instrumental, with our PatternTeller prototype being called to operate the story composition process.

• Abstract: This paper shows how to construct genre patterns, whose purpose is to guide interactive story composition in a way that enforces thematic consistency. To start the discussion we argue, based on previous seminal works, for the existence of five fundamental genres, namely comedy, romance - in the sense of epic plots, flourishing since the twelfth century -, tragedy, satire, and mystery. To construct the patterns, a simple two-phase process is employed: first retrieving examples that match our genre characterizations, and then applying a form of most specific generalization to the groups of examples in order to find their commonalities. In both phases, AI agents are instrumental, with our PatternTeller prototype being called to operate the story composition process, offering the opportunity to generate stories from a given premise of the user, to be developed under the guidance of the chosen pattern and trying to accommodate the user's suggestions along the composition stages.

  We propose a generation framework inspired by narrative theory that decomposes narrative writing into subtasks tackled by specialized agents. We show that Agents' Room generates stories preferred by expert evaluators over those produced by baseline systems.

  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 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.

  We propose a method for controlled narrative/story generation where we are able to guide the model to produce coherent narratives with user-specified target endings. The core of our method is an incrementally model based on GPT-2 which conditions on a previous sentence and a next sentence in a narrative and fills in the gap. We show that ending-guided generation results in narratives which are coherent, faithful to the given ending guide, and require less manual effort on the part of the human guide writer than past approaches.
