arXiv:2601. 17226v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Counterfactual story retelling exposes LLM shortcomings in constrained narrative solution spaces where they can no longer rely on recalling memorised training data.
arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.
arXiv:2607. 11798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form audio description (AD) requires more than describing visible actions: it must preserve characters, events, relationships, and story context across scenes so that blind and low-vision (BLV) audiences can follow a film.
arXiv:2602. 15851v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Applications of narrative theories using large language models (LLMs) deliver promising methods in automatic story generation and understanding tasks.
arXiv:2608. 07460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While post-training improves the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), it generally lowers their output diversity and creativity, negatively impacting tasks that explicitly require creativity (e.
arXiv:2603. 16410v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Creative plot generation presents a fundamental challenge for language models: transforming a concise premise into a coherent narrative that sustains global coherence, character development, pacing, tone consistency, and emotional progression.
arXiv:2608. 08160v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) is revolutionizing AI for Games by enabling open-ended and fluid interactive storytelling.
arXiv:2606. 15741v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Narrative question answering (NQA) is a challenging task in natural language processing that requires models to understand long textual contexts, capture relationships across events, and generate coherent responses.
arXiv:2607. 05577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-form fiction writers need memory that answers multi-hop questions about evolving story state: who knows a secret and when they learned it, whether an event preceded the narration that revealed it, whether a setup paid off, and how a relationship shifted.
arXiv:2608. 03875v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing effective reward functions remains a major bottleneck in Reinforcement Learning (RL).
arXiv:2606. 05553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Role-playing language agents (RPLAs) should play characters whose values and behavior evolve as the story progresses, not maintain a fixed persona.
arXiv:2412. 15239v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Consumers' engagement with stories is shaped by their expectations about what will happen next, yet modeling these forward-looking beliefs over unstructured narrative content has remained challenging.
arXiv:2601. 01095v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive progress in vision-language reasoning, yet their ability to understand temporally unfolding narratives in videos remains underexplored.
