Proceedings of the 4th Workshop of Narrative Understanding (WNU2022)

Abstract

Welcome to the 4th Workshop on Narrative Understanding! This is the 4th iteration of the workshop, which brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers from AI, ML, NLP, Computer Vision and other related fields, as well as scholars from the humanities to discuss methods to improve automatic narrative understanding capabilities. We are happy to present 8 papers on this topic (along with 7 non-archival papers to be presented only at the workshop). These papers take on the complex challenges presented by diverse texts in areas of film, dialogue and literature as they look to improve methods for event extraction, gender and representation bias, controllable generation, quality assessment, and other tasks related to the workshop theme. We would like to thank everyone who submitted their work to this workshop and the program committee for their helpful feedback.
