Proposal of an Interactive Plot Generation Framework Using Narrative Structure

Abstract

The market for content creation has been expanding, and the demand for stories and scenarios has been increasing. However, the shortage of scenario writers and the limitation of story patterns are serious problems. There is a need to develop a system to stimulate writers' creativity in scenarios generation. Since the direct automatic generation of a scenario is a hard task, we try to generate a plot, which is the main idea of a scenario, automatically. In this study, we propose three methods for automatic plot generation that use a narrative structure. We compared the plots manually generated with those generated automatically with our methods and using a narrative structure and confirmed the usefulness of our methods in automatically generating plots using a narrative structure.
