We consider the problem of automatically generating longer stories of over two thousand
words. Compared to prior work on shorter stories, long-range plot coherence and relevance …

This paper investigates ultrafilters in the context of connectivity systems, defined as pairs (X,
f) where X is a finite set and f is a symmetric submodular function. Ultrafilters, essential in …

We propose the Detailed Outline Control (DOC) framework for improving long-range plot
coherence when automatically generating several-thousand-word-long stories. DOC …

Narrative understanding involves capturing the author's cognitive processes, providing
insights into their knowledge, intentions, beliefs, and desires. Although large language …

We present Spindle, a mixed initiative tool for authoring choice-based interactive fiction that

The task of topical segmentation is well studied, but previous work has mostly addressed it
in the context of structured, well-defined segments, such as segmentation into paragraphs …

The role of AI in narrative studies is not a question of if but of when and of how we humans
prepare for such a future. The if claim is addressed with a detailed rebuttal to Angus …

Weak filters were introduced by K. Schlechta in the'90s with the aim of interpreting defaults
via a generalized 'most'quantifier in first-order logic. They arguably represent the largest …
