479kB PDF file)Appraisal for a Character-based Story-World
- Stefan Rank, Paolo Petta
- Generation of interesting narratives in a simulated dramatic
story-world requires situated software agents with emotional competences.
The operationalisation of concepts from appraisal theories of
emotion can provide flexible roleplayers that reduce the required external
macro-level control. Situatedness and the analysis of the social
lifeworld of characters are the foundations of the presented architecture
that is used to generate simple cliché plots. The subjective evaluative
interpretation of changes in a character’s environment and appropriate
reactions provide for the causal and emotional connections that can lead
to the unfolding of a story. The architecture is a contribution towards a
process-oriented model of emotional phenomena.
