Abstract

Conflict is a key feature of interesting stories. Building on previous narrative systems, I intend to formalize a computational model of conflict to inform the creation of plots which more closely match human story expectations. I have proposed a means of generating stories based on AI planning and have identified seven important dimensions of conflict: participants, subject, duration, directness, intensity, balance, and resolution. At this consortium, I hope to receive feedback on the model, along with suggestions for its use in an empirical evaluation.
