Toward a computational model of focalization in narrative

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Focalization, perspective-taking in stories, restricts narrative information to the eye of a character, allowing the audience limited perception for a particular effect. This paper briefly describes the work in narrative theories on focalization and our computational model of focalization in narrative generation using an Artificial Intelligence planning-based approach. Keys to the story generation with focalization are the use of distinctive knowledge (i.e., distinctive plan libraries) and the concept of focalizing factors for each focal character in the story.
