Neural Text Generation in Stories Using Entity Representations as Context (N18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models of text generation that explicitly represent entities are based on the use of words and entities. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural model that explicitly represents entities mentioned in the text . they use vectors that are updated as the text proceeds to improve automatic evaluations . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves mention generation, sentence selection, and sentence generation. |

| 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. |
