Towards a Computational Narration of Inner

Narrative, as it evolves with technological developments, constantly reinvents itself in order to better capture new social orders and individual experiences. As an emerging cultural expression, however, most computergenerated narrative works are still restricted to an action-based, goal-driven aesthetics, leaving little space for characters’ inner world. This paper proposes to expand the range of computer-generated narrative by addressing this imbalance between the “physical” and the “internal.” It presents our approach for algorithmically narrating characters’ inner world by leveraging the synergy between modernist stream of consciousness literature and contemporary research in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. The Riu system, a text-based computational narrative system inspired by Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway, is provided as a case study towards this new direction.
