Challenge: Existing approaches to storyline generation are domain dependent and cannot deal with unseen event types.
Approach: They propose a neural network-based approach to extract structured representations and evolution patterns of storylines without using annotated data.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on accuracy and efficiency on three news corpora and it is based on supervised models.

NGEP: A Graph-based Event Planning Framework for Story Generation (2022.aacl-short)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Current approaches to story generation are based on end-to-end neural generation models, such as BART, to generate event sequences.
Approach: They propose a novel event planning framework which generates an event sequence by performing inference on an automatically constructed event graph and enhances generalisation ability through a neural event advisor.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) event planning approaches on multiple criteria and compares with existing models on the downstream task of story generation.
Text-to-Text Automatic Story Generation: A Survey (2026.eacl-srw)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Automated story generation aims to produce coherent, engaging, and contextually consistent narratives with minimal or no human involvement . despite advances in large language models, maintaining narrative coherence, character consistency, storyline diversity, and plot controllability in generating stories is still challenging.
Approach: They propose to develop new evaluation metrics and better data sets to support automatic story generation.
Outcome: The proposed evaluation metrics and better datasets will improve narrative coherence and consistency and explore practical applications of story generation.

A Structured Clustering Approach for Inducing Media Narratives (2026.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing approaches to modeling media narratives miss subtle narrative patterns through coarse-grained analysis or require domain-specific taxonomies that limit scalability.
Approach: They propose a framework for inducing rich narrative schemas by jointly modeling events and characters via structured clustering.
Outcome: The proposed framework produces explainable narrative schemas that align with established framing theory while scaling to large corpora without exhaustive manual annotation.
Improving Chinese Story Generation via Awareness of Syntactic Dependencies and Semantics (2022.aacl-short)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Current neural models for Chinese story generation struggle to generate high-quality long text narratives due to ambiguity in syntactically parsing the Chinese language.
Approach: They propose a framework that enhances the feature capturing mechanism by informing the generation model of dependencies between words and additionally augmenting the semantic representation learning through synonym denoising training.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art Chinese generation models on all evaluation metrics, showing that it enhances dependency and semantic representation learning.
