Narrative Theory-Driven LLM Methods for Automatic Story Generation and Understanding: A Survey
A new survey paper published on arXiv explores the intersection of narrative theory and large language models (LLMs) for automatic story generation and understanding. The paper categorizes current NLP research based on narratology concepts, highlighting that while understanding tasks are more advanced, generation methods lag in theoretical application and exploring non-fiction narratives. The authors suggest future research should focus on theory-based metrics for narrative attributes, large-scale literary analysis, and generating narratives in situated contexts to validate or refine narrative theories.
