[Vwoolf] "Centering around" telling a story

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Abstract. My project aims at conceptualizing and implementing a com-putational storytelling system that derives creativity from an iterativecycle of simulation-based engagement and constraint-modifying reflec-tion. It approaches this problem by first developing a computationalmodel of stories that is grounded in narratological research, more specif-ically in mimetic, post-structuralist approaches centered around fictionalcharacters. In the second stage, this narratological grounding will allowto measure and reason about the quality of a modeled story based ona formal notion called tellability. In the last stage, the parameter spacethat is set up by this representation can be explored in search for tellablestories, which are hypothesized to be of higher quality.Abstract.

Thank goodness, Virginia Woolf didn’t tell stories, for I wouldn’t be able to understand them.
