“…Regardless of the method used to generate the narrative, a situated use-case of storytelling for interactive agents involves a selection of events from agent's memory that are likely to be interesting, such as in (Behrooz, Swanson, and Jhala 2015). Importantly, the agent would then have to choose which details to include in the story, which specifications of the elements or actions to add or in what order to say them (Montfort 2009).…”

Storytelling is a capable tool for interactive agents and better stories can enable better interactions. Many existing automated evaluation techniques are either focused on textual features that are not necessarily reflective of perceived interestingness (e.g. coherence), or are domain-specific, relying on a priori semantics models (e.g. in a game). However, the effectiveness of storytelling depends both on its versatility to adapt to new domains and the perceived interestingness of its generated stories. In this paper, drawing from cognitive science literature, we propose and evaluate a method for estimating cognitive interest in stories based on the level of predictive inference they cause during perception.

Abstract. This paper re-frames virtual interactive characters as "subjective interfaces" with the purpose of highlighting original affordances for interactive storytelling through conversation. This notion is theoretically unpacked in the perspectives of narratology, interaction design and game design. Existing and imagined scenarios are presented in which subjective interfaces are elevated as core interaction mechanics. Finally, technical challenges posed by this approach are reviewed alongside relevant existing research leads.
