Pages

A story event writing engine

Intro

Pages is a language generation engine that constructs story like events. It uses a unique model scheme that is different that other natural language generation techniques. Instead of relying on parts of speech, it separates the idea of language into entities.

For Pages, the two types of entities are objects and actions. Nearly all natural language can be modeled as objects connecting to each other through actions.

I see apples.
|   |   |
obj |   obj
    |
    action

Here, I, a pronoun, and apples, a noun, are objects. They exist as physical entities. see is an action. It’s a behavior or something that has to be done and completed.

Pages uses a framework to pair objects and actions in a grammatically correct manner. It can select and synthesize story events at random.

Model

This is a model of the object to action bonding.

Install

1. clone/download the repo.
2. cd Pages
3. then do make all
4. This puts an executable called Pages in /bin.

Usage

You can specify the number of events to generate.

$ ./bin/Pages 10

Development

Pages is a prototype that will be developed into a full story-generator with an input language, making it highly scalable and useful for educational purposes.
