MUSE: A Theory-Harnessed Story Engine for Vibe Narrativizing

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

MUSE is a story‑generation engine that applies Robert McKee’s narrative theory to guide decisions about plot, character, and language throughout planning, drafting, and revision. It structures story knowledge into rule atoms, semantic consolidations, and mechanisms, and uses intermediate deliverables to preserve decisions across creative stages. Experiments show MUSE improves benchmark scores over zero‑shot generation and maintains low consistency errors across multiple models.

SAGE: Self-Evolving Storyboard Skills via Attribution-Guided Rule Evolution

SAGE is a framework that automates storyboard creation by learning and evolving directing rules from expert demonstrations. It attributes each narrative group’s decisions to specific rules, refines those rules with localized feedback, and routes only relevant rules to each group during generation. In tests, SAGE matched professional directors on a rubric and reduced authoring time by over 83%.

ConWriter: Transition-Constrained Stateful Long-Form Story Generation with Lightweight Neuro-Symbolic Consistency Control

ConWriter is a training‑free framework that generates long‑form stories scene by scene, using static requirements, dynamic memory, symbolic state reasoning, and uncertainty‑aware risk signals to enforce consistency. It checks each new scene against required narrative transitions and repairs local errors before they propagate. Evaluations on ConStory‑Bench show that ConWriter matches or outperforms direct generation and a recent baseline, improving narrative consistency across multiple models and story lengths.
