INT10 workshop: October 19-20, 2020
The Intelligent Narrative Technologies (INT) workshop series aims to advance research in artificial intelligence for the computational understanding and expression of narrative. Recent years have witnessed significant advances in the technical, creative, and aesthetic interpretation of narratives with digital media, including games, simulations, interactive fiction, and electronic literature. Our goal is to contribute to this forward momentum by gathering a multidisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners to share their latest work at the intersection of narrative and technology.
Previous editions of INT have been celebrated in conjunction with premium conferences on AI and entertainment, games and arts, such as ICIDS, ELO, FDG and AIIDE. INT 2020 will be celebrated as a workshop of the Sixteenth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE). This year, INT will be held online as a virtual workshop.
INT brings together computer scientists, psychologists, narrative theorists, media theorists, artists, writers, and members of the interactive entertainment industry. From this broad expertise, the workshop focuses on computational systems to represent, reason about, create, adapt, and perform interactive and non-interactive narrative experiences. This also includes fundamental research in relevant fields such as natural language processing, believable virtual characters, commonsense reasoning, computer vision, computational media, and human storytelling.
We invite submissions of full papers describing completed or ongoing relevant research (8 pages including references); short papers (4 pages including references) will be presented as posters.
Position papers are also welcome.
We invite papers concerning all elements of computational and interactive narrative, including but not limited to the following:
Computational Models of Narrative Generation
Narrative discourse generation
Computable narrative models inspired by cognitive science, narratology, drama studies, and related disciplines
Drama management for interactive narratives
Applications of intelligent narrative technologies, including education and healthcare
Virtual characters that converse, narrate, perform, and behave believably
Narrative knowledge acquisition
Computational creativity in narrative systems
Computational Models of Narrative Experience
Models and measures of engagement in interactive narrative
Cognitive models of film perception
User studies and deployed intelligent narrative and smart camera systems
Human-computer interaction with narrative
Narrative presence and engagement in virtual environments
Narrative-related affect and emotion
Evaluation of methodologies and user experience
Narrative Interpretation and Multimodal Analysis
Computational understanding, analysis, and summarization of film and narratives, including natural language processing and computer vision
Interaction-oriented video and narrative annotation tools and corpora
Virtual cinematography for narratives
Authoring tools for intelligent video and narrative technologies, including collaborative authoring
Narrative storyboarding
Submission instructions: Submissions must be anonymized for double blind reviews. Submissions should be formatted in AAAI two-column, camera-ready style (use the AAAI Press Author Kit) and be submitted as PDF files via EasyChair. The deadline for the submissions is July 27, 2020 August 3, 2020. Notifications about acceptance will be sent out on August 17, 2020 August 24, 2020.
Please reach out to the workshop organizers for any queries or concerns.
