Impulse: a Formal Characterization of Story

pdf-format:
9.pdf (0.4 MB)


Abstract

We present a novel representation of narratives at the story level called Impulse. It combines a temporal representation of a story’s actions and events with a representation of the mental models of the story’s characters into a cohesive, logic-based language. We show the expressiveness of this approach by encoding a story fragment, and compare it to other formal story representations in terms of representational dimensions. We also acknowledge the computational complexity of our approach and argue that a restricted subset still provides a high degree of expressive power
