Abstract

Most of the work dealing with automatic story production is based on a generic architecture for text generation; however, the resulting stories still lack a style that can be called literary. We believe that in order to generate automatically stories that could be compared with those by human authors, a specific methodology for fiction text generation should be defined. We also believe that it is essential for a story to convey the effect of originality to the person who is reading it. Our methodology proposes corpus-based generation of stories that could be called creative and also have a style similar to human fiction texts. We also show how these stories have plausible syntax and coherence, and are perceived as interesting by human evaluators.
