- Abstract
- This paper describes a web-based environment for constructing narrative from story snippets contributed by a community of interest. The underlying model uses an argument based structure to infer the next event in the narrative sequence. The approach makes use of both events and higher level story elements derived from Polti’s dramatic situations. Dramatic situations used are consistent with a theme, and events are generally constrained by the dramatic situation. The narrative generated is a function of the event history, the dramatic situations chosen and the plausible inferences about next events that are contributed by a community of interest in the theme. At this stage, a player’s actions are simulated using a random selection from a set and the implementation of a nonsense filter. Example outputs from the system are provided and discussed.
