This course explores how emerging narrative tools are shaping the future of storytelling by delving into computational models for representing narrative structure and their practical applications in open source tools. The goal is to enhance generative storytelling abilities using computers, whether for creating experimental fiction or developing dynamic game systems. The course compares cutting-edge narrative AI research with innovative story structure approaches of contemporary novelists to create systems that balance causal logic with free-association. The intended audience includes individuals interested in narrative theory, computational storytelling, and the intersection of technology and storytelling. The course covers topics such as dramatic structure, expressive range, extended planning algorithms, branching narratives, and quality-based narrative.
