Exploratory Approach to the Computational Modeling of Narrative Ability for Artificial Intelligence
Taisuke Akimoto · International Journal of Knowledge Engineering · 2016
Narrative ability is an essential element of human intelligence from the perspectives of both psychology and artificial intelligence (AI).It includes many intellectual functions: narrative generation, narrative understanding or interpretation, narrative-mediated communication, and the manipulation of narrativity-based knowledge.The computational modeling of narrative ability is a critical problem in the development of human-like AI agents and user-friendly intelligent information systems.However, implementing this model involves many difficult challenges owing to the structural and phenomenal complexity of narratives.The broader purpose of this study is to develop a computational model of narrative ability from an AI perspective.In this study, we explore the formulation of a conceptual framework of computational narrative ability including a narrativity-based knowledge model and operational modules for this knowledge model.
