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.

Controlling and Assessing Appropriate Persona Use in LLM-based Dialogue Generation

The paper examines how large language models (LLMs) tend to overuse persona attributes in persona-based dialogue generation, producing unnatural responses. It identifies a systematic bias in LLMs to incorporate all provided persona details and shows that current metrics cannot assess contextual appropriateness. To address this, the authors introduce Self-CONtrastive Persona Overuse Suppression (SCONPOS), which intervenes in the prompt encoding stage to reduce overuse, and propose the Persona Appropriateness Score (PAS), a new metric that penalizes both overuse and underuse of persona attributes.
