An Introduction to Narrative Generators by Rafael Pérez y Pérez,Mike Sharples Pdf

This book describes how computer programs can generate narratives and how studies of computational narrative can illuminate how humans tell stories. Combining an introduction to relevant concepts related to automatic storytelling with accessible descriptions of well-known computer programs that illustrate how such concepts are employed, the book is aimed at an interdisciplinary audience and assumes little or no background in computer science. The book introduces the most relevant techniques employed over the last 60 years for the development of computer models for narrative generation, including narrative templates, problem-solving, planning, author engagement and reflection, and statistical methods such as deep neural networks, ending with an examination of the societal implications of the development of automatic narrative generator systems.

Designing with Objects by Avinash C. Kak Pdf

Here is a book that takes the sting out of learningobject-oriented design patterns! Using vignettes from the fictionalworld of Harry Potter, author Avinash C. Kak provides a refreshingalternative to the typically abstract and dry object-orienteddesign literature. Designing with Objects is unique. It explains designpatterns using the short-story medium instead of sterile examples.It is the third volume in a trilogy by Avinash C. Kak, followingProgramming with Objects (Wiley, 2003) and Scripting with Objects(Wiley, 2008). Designing with Objects confronts howdifficult it is for students to learn complex patterns based onconventional scenarios that they may not be able to relate to. Incontrast, it shows that stories from the fictional world of HarryPotter provide highly relatable and engaging models. Afterexplaining core notions in a pattern and its typical use inreal-world applications, each chapter shows how a pattern can bemapped to a Harry Potter story. The next step is an explanation ofthe pattern through its Java implementation. The following patternsappear in three sections: Abstract Factory, Builder, FactoryMethod, Prototype, and Singleton; Adapter, Bridge, Composite,Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, and Proxy; and the Chain ofResponsibility, Command, Interpreter, Iterator, Mediator, Memento,Observer, State, Strategy, Template Method, and Visitor. Forreaders’ use, Java code for each pattern is included in thebook’s companion website. All code examples in the book are available for download on acompanion website with resources for readers and instructors. A refreshing alternative to the abstract and dry explanationsof the object-oriented design patterns in much of the existingliterature on the subject. In 24 chapters, Designing with Objects explains well-knowndesign patterns by relating them to stories from the fictionalHarry Potter series

Advances in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence by Rajiv Misra,Nishtha Kesswani,Muttukrishnan Rajarajan,Bharadwaj Veeravalli,Imene Brigui,Ashok Patel,T. N. Singh Pdf

With the intriguing development of technologies in several industries along with the advent of accrescent and ubiquitous computational resources, it creates an ample number of opportunities to develop innovative intelligence technologies in order to solve the wide range of uncertainties, imprecision, and vagueness issues in various real-life problems. Hybridizing modern computational intelligence with traditional computing methods has attracted researchers and academicians to focus on developing innovative AI techniques using data science. International Conference on Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (ICDSAI) 2022, organized on April 23-24, 2022 by the Indian Institute of Technology, Patna at NITIE Mumbai (India) in collaboration with the International Association of Academicians (IAASSE) USA collected scientific and technical contributions with respect to models, tools, technologies, and applications in the field of modern Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, covering the entire range of concepts from theory to practice, including case studies, works-in-progress, and conceptual explorations.

Story Machines: How Computers Have Become Creative Writers by Mike Sharples,Rafael Pérez y Pérez Pdf

This fascinating book explores machines as authors of fiction, past, present, and future. For centuries, writers have dreamed of mechanical storytellers. We can now build these devices. What will be the impact on society of AI programs that generate original stories to entertain and persuade? What can we learn about human creativity from probing how they work? In Story Machines, two pioneers of creative artificial intelligence explore the design and impact of AI story generators. The book covers three themes: language generators that compose coherent text, storyworlds with believable characters, and AI models of human storytellers. Providing examples of story machines through the ages, it covers the history, recent developments, and future implications of automated story generation. Anyone with an interest in story writing will gain a new perspective on what it means to be a creative writer, what parts of creativity can be mechanized, and what is essentially human. Story Machines is for those who have ever wondered what makes a good story, why stories are important to us, and what the future holds for storytelling.

Strategic Communication by Anthony Dudo,LeeAnn Kahlor Pdf

The focus of this book is Strategic Communication. Communication can be defined as strategic if its development and/or dissemination is driven by an expected outcome. These outcomes can be attitudinal, behavioral, persuasive or knowledge-related; they can lead to change or engagement, or they can miss their mark entirely. In looking at strategic communication, one is not limited to a specific context or discipline. Many of the scholars in the volume are generating research that covers strategic communication in ways that are meaningful across fields. This volume collects the work and idea of scholars who cover the spectrum of strategic communication from source to message to audience to channel to effects. Strategic Communication offers news perspectives across contexts and is rooted firmly in the rich research traditions of persuasion and media effects. Spanning multiple disciplines and written to appeal to a large audience, this book will be found in the hands of researchers, graduate students, and students doing interdisciplinary coursework.

Prosthesis by David Wills Pdf

Prosthesis is an experiment in critical writing that both analyzes and performs certain questions about the body as an "artificial" construction. The book deals with the mechanical (e.g., a mechanical prosthesis like a father's artificial leg) in that most humanistic of discourses, the artistic - in order to demonstrate to what extent a supposedly natural creation relies on artificial devices of various kinds. It is distinguished from a thematics of the prosthetic in literature by its complex articulation with accounts of the amputee father's discomfort, slipping back and forth between an apparently constative and a more obviously performative mode, in and out of fiction and autobiography. Cutting across the terrains occupied traditionally by the history of medicine, film studies, art history, philosophy, psychoanalysis, literary theory, and fiction, it finds an artistic or cultural pretext for each of its expositions - a line from Virgil, a painting by Conder, a theory by Freud, a film by Greenaway, a text by Derrida, novels by Roussel or Gibson, a sixteenth-century rhetoric - that connects thematically or theoretically with the question of prosthesis.
