Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE) October 5-9, 2017, Snowbird, UT,
USA


*Important dates*

Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2017

Camera ready: August 21, 2017

INT10 workshop: October 5-6, 2017


*Call for papers*

The Intelligent Narrative Technologies (INT) workshop represents the tenth
iteration of a series of gatherings dedicated to advancing research in
artificial intelligence for the computational understanding and expression
of narrative. Our goal is to contribute to this forward momentum by
congregating a multidisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners to
share their latest work at the intersection of narrative and technology.

Previous editions of INT have been celebrated in conjunction with premium
conferences on AI and entertainment, games and arts, such as ICIDS, ELO,
FDG and AIIDE (INT9, http://icids2016.ict.usc.edu/about-int9/). INT10 will
be celebrated as a workshop of the Thirteenth AAAI Conference on Artificial
Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE).

INT brings together computer scientists, psychologists, narrative
theorists, media theorists, artists, writers, and members of the
interactive entertainment industry. From this broad expertise, the workshop
focuses on computational systems to represent, reason about, create, adapt,
and perform interactive and non-interactive narrative experiences. This
also includes fundamental research in relevant fields such as natural
language processing, believable virtual characters, commonsense reasoning,
computer vision, computational media, and human storytelling.


*Topics of interests*

Artificial intelligence for story generation and storytelling

Computational understanding, analysis, and summarization of narratives,
including natural language processing and computer vision

Applications of intelligent narrative technologies, including education and
healthcare

Drama management for interactive narratives and drama

Narrative discourse generation

Virtual cinematography for narratives

Virtual characters that converse, narrate, perform, and behave believably

Computable narrative models inspired by cognitive science, narratology,
drama studies, and related disciplines

Narrative presence and engagement in virtual environments

Narrative-related affect and emotion

Narrative knowledge acquisition

Computational creativity in narrative systems

Authoring tools for intelligent narrative technologies, including
collaborative authoring

Evaluation methods for intelligent narrative technologies

User studies and deployed intelligent narrative systems

Human-computer interaction with narrative technologies

Models and measures of engagement in interactive narrative

Interaction-oriented narrative annotation and narrative corpora


*Paper submissions*

We invite submissions of Full papers describing completed or ongoing
relevant research (6 pages plus 1 page of references); Short papers (3
pages plus 1 page of references), Demo proposals (1 page) and panel
proposals (1 page) may be submitted (speakers in the panel proposal should
be already confirmed upon submission). Position papers are also welcome.

The best reviewed full and short paper submissions will be accepted for
oral presentation. Other submissions may be accepted as poster
presentations. All accepted papers will be published in the INT10 workshop
technical report by the AAAI Press.

Submissions must be anonymized for double blind reviews. Submissions should
be formatted in AAAI two-column, camera-ready style (see the AAAI Press
Author Kit: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit17.zip).
and be submitted as PDF files via EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/my/conference.cgi?conf=int10).
