The field of artificial intelligence
has long envisioned using computers to
automatically write stories. The objective of
this endeavor is not necessarily to replace
human story authors, but instead support
them through collaboration. In this talk, I’ll
present my work on a particular application
that addresses this goal by automatically
generating suggestions to authors for new
sentences in a story they are writing. I’ll discuss my current findings on
authors’ interactions with this application and show how these findings
motivate future opportunities in relevant interdisciplinary research
across computer science, linguistics, and psychology.
