PROMPT2BOX:Improving LLM Weakness Discovery and Specificity Estimation by Uncovering Entailment Structure among Prompts
The paper introduces Prompt2Box, a method that embeds prompts into a box embedding space to capture both semantic similarity and specificity relations, addressing the limitation of traditional vector embeddings that conflate topical similarity with specificity. Using a trained encoder on existing and synthesized datasets, Prompt2Box achieves significant improvements, reducing specificity prediction error by 45% over a prompt-length baseline and identifying 13.5% more LLM weaknesses in hierarchical clustering compared to vector baselines. The authors also present a novel dimension‑reduction technique for visualizing and comparing box embeddings, and provide the code on GitHub.

The Garden of Forking Paths: Threading Narrative Archetype as a Semantic Signal Through Gameplay Planning
The paper introduces Forking Garden, a branching game generation system that threads narrative archetype as a persistent semantic signal throughout the generation pipeline. Narrative progression is modeled with soft Rise/Fall states, guiding the creation of plot nodes, structural constraints, encounter composition, objectives, rewards, and difficulty adaptation. Experiments across ten storylines show that the system produces distinct archetypal trajectories, improves entity diversity, and that Rise/Fall distinctions remain meaningful during play, aiding both narrative understanding and creator interpretation.

Narrative Keyframing for Generative Creative Writing
arXiv:2608. 10337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce narrative keyframing, an interaction technique for AI-assisted creative writing that lets writers specify different types of narrative constraints at selected moments in a story, then use AI to generate intervening prose.

The House with a Million Windows: Interactive Fiction for Narrative Restorying
The House with a Million Windows (HWAMW) is an LLM-based interactive fiction system that lets users narrate a story and then view it through a series of AI-generated "windows" that reframe the narrative in various literary styles. The system is grounded in the psychological restorying intervention, aiming to deepen users' exploration of meaning in their personal stories. Empirical results indicate that HWAMW enhances users' sense of narrative identity, and expert reviews suggest it achieves this by facilitating restorying rather than simply generating new content.
