Simple automated story generator

Abstract

As technology advances, the list of things computers can do also increases. The list isreally big and includes diverse things. When we think about the list, storytelling is notsomething; we would be comfortable to have in the list. As we ask �why?� and try to come upwith an answer, we realize that human brain is a really wonderful thing. It can subconsciouslywork so hard and on an abstract level that while writing the stories, we don�t realize that thetask requires so much amount of world knowledge and involves many cognitive processes.The requirement of enormous data and complex processes makes this task difficult forcomputers. Difficult, but not impossible. This dissertation is one of the effort in that directionand the end product is SANDI (acronym for �Simple Automatis� Narrateur Des Intrigue�meaning �Simple Automated Story Generator�).SANDI can generate a story, either completely on its own or based upon the guidelineprovided by the user. For an example, a user may seed information about the charactersArjun and Aarohi and may provide an abstract storyline that Arjun and Aarohi meet andAarohi kill Arjun. Now, SANDI can create a story revolving around this abstract storyline,adding necessary events and twists, introducing new characters, if required. The final storyhas a flow, which is logical, coherent as well as interesting.
