Abstract

Script writing for a movie or theater play is a difficult task that requires substantial literature expertise and creativity of human drama writers. We are interested in developing AI techniques and tools that can facilitate the literature creative process. To convert a Chinese fairy story into a script, we have to extract characters, locations, time, objects, as well as dialogues in order to decide the proper scenes in which actors and conductors can follow to conduct the actions and dialogues in the story. We reported preliminary results on this study using natural language processing techniques and commonsense knowledge. The work also poses challenging problems for various future research directions.
