Preference Modeling for Adaptive Storytelling

In almost all forms of storytelling, the background and the current state of mind of the audience members predispose them to experience a given story from a uniquely personal perspective. However, traditional story writers usually construct their narratives based on the average preferences of their audience, which does not guarantee satisfying narrative experiences for its members. This project explores user modeling and adaptive storytelling to generate individualized interactive narratives based on the preferences of users.
