抄録

The problems of love and sex with robots have been studied in the “International Congress on Love & Sex with Robots” organized by David Levy, who is a chess player and is an author of books of AI. Of course, also in narratives and stories, love and sex are important theme. The objective of this paper is to present a prototyping system, based on the themes of love and sex, that generates a new story representation through exchanges the concepts, including characters, objects, and locations, in an inputted story representation with new concepts using the noun conceptual dictionary developed by us. Although new noun concepts to be exchanged are selected from the range of the concepts related to love and sex in the noun conceptual dictionary, the selection is done using three types of methods with: (1) random selection, (2) co-occurrence, and (3) hierarchical structure in the dictionary. For instance, the second method exchanges all of the corresponded concepts in the inputted story into new love and sex-related concepts in the noun conceptual dictionary using co-occurrence information. Furthermore, we conduct on a questionnaire survey for the generation results by the developed mechanisms. For example, the subjects compare an inputted story and the transformed stories, and evaluate the degree of the outputted stories are transformed to love and sex stories.
