INVESTIGATION OF USE OF SALIENCE FOR EFFECTIVE NARRATIVE PLANNING

This paper explores the integration of salience modeling into narrative planning to enhance the generation of coherent and engaging stories for interactive experiences. Salience indices and a salience-based cost function were incorporated to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of narrative planning algorithms. The research demonstrated that solutions with lower salience costs were more prevalent, thereby highlighting the potential for optimizing narrative planning by prioritizing such solutions. Moreover, the study emphasized the importance of accurately defining the relationship between actions for salience representation. In conclusion, the integration of salience modeling in narrative planning streamlined the process, resulting in improved storytelling experiences and better utilization of computational resources.
