Goal-based personalities and social behaviors in believable agents
TLDR
The article describes how such a model of personality is implemented in planning with the PRODIGY system and in execution with the RAP system, where behaviors characteristic ofdifferent "helping personality types" are automatically designed and executed in a virtual world.Abstract:
Agents are considered "believable" when viewed by an audience as endowed with behaviors, attitudes, and emotions typical of different personalities. Our work is aimed at realizing believable agents that perform helping behaviors influenced by their personalities, which we represent as different clusters of prioritized goals and preferences over plans for achieving goals. The article describes how such a model of personality is implemented in planning with the PRODIGY system and in execution with the RAP system. Both systems are integrated in a plan-based architecture where behaviors characteristic ofdifferent "helping personality types" are automatically designed and executed in a virtual world. The article also shows examples of the kinds of plan produced by PRODIGY for different personalities and contexts and how such plans are executed by RAP when a helping character interacts with a user in a virtual world.read more

Narrative planning: balancing plot and character
Mark O. Riedl,R. Michael Young +1 more
TL;DR: A novel refinement search planning algorithm - the Intent-based Partial Order Causal Link (IPOCL) planner - is described that, in addition to creating causally sound plot progression, reasons about character intentionality by identifying possible character goals that explain their actions and creating plan structures that explain why those characters commit to their goals.

An Intent-Driven Planner for Multi-Agent Story Generation
Mark O. Riedl,R. Michael Young +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents a narrative generation planning system for multi-agent stories that is capable of generating narratives with both strong plot coherence and strong character believability.
An architecture for adaptive intelligent systems
TL;DR: An agent architecture is designed and implemented that supports all of these different kinds of adaptation by exploiting a single underlying theoretical concept: An agent dynamically constructs explicit control plans to guide its choices among situation-triggered behaviors.
Narrative generation: balancing plot and character
Mark O. Riedl,R. Michael Young +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the use of search-based planning as a technique for generating stories that demonstrate both strong plot coherence and strong character believability, which play a role in the success of a narrative in terms of the ability of the narrative's audience to comprehend its structure.
Planning formalisms and authoring in interactive storytelling
TL;DR: This paper compares two different planning formalisms in Interactive Storytelling, Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning and Heuristic Search Planning (HSP), and finds that HSP offer additional flexibility and the generation of stories and the mechanisms for generating comic situations.

Scripts, plans, goals and understanding: an inquiry into human knowledge structures
TL;DR: Schank and Abelson as mentioned in this paper analyzed the conceptual apparatus necessary to perform even a partial feat of understanding, and their analysis of this apparatus is what is what this book is about.

TL;DR: The idea of believability has long been studied and explored in literatttre, theater, film, radio drama, and other media and traditional character animators are among those artists who have sought to create believable characters.
