Towards Analogy-Based Story Generation
Jichen Zhu, Santiago Ontañón · 2010
Abstract. Narrative is one of the oldest creative forms, capable of de-picting a wide spectrum of human conditions. However, many existing stories generated by planning-based computational narrative systems are confined to the goal-driven, problem-solving aesthetics. This paper fo-cuses on analogy-based story generation. Informed by narratology and computational analogy, we present an analytical framework to survey this area in order to identify trends and areas that have not received suf-ficient attention. Finally, we introduce the new developments of the Riu project as a case study for possible new narrative aesthetics supported by analogy. 1
