Abstract

Telling stories is a central part of human culture. The development of computational systems that can understand and respond to human language is an integral part of AI research in general and narrative technologies in particular. In this paper, we describe a system that is able to understand human spoken English sentences and portray that understanding via a semiotic visual language in real-time. We then employ this system in a communal storytelling environment as part of an interactive art installation and create a medium for collaborative creative expression.
