Inhalt

Telling and understanding stories is an activity that heavily relates to how humans perceive and understand the world. As such, the task of automatically generating stories has attracted considerable research interest spanning back multiple decades.

In this seminar we will take a look at both the history of the task and the current state of the art in story generation.
We will start with early symbolic approaches that rely on manually defining domain models to generate stories from. We will then move towards more modern approaches that leverage the power of neural networks and pretrained language models to generate stories in an open setting without relying on extensive manually created resources.
