> "Knowlege is stories" - Roger Schank
>
> While much work in AI has represented simple knowledge about everyday
> life and activities at the word, sentence, and logical assertion
> level, we see a growing need to understand it at a larger granularity,
> that of stories. A story is a short, focused description of people and
> events occurring over time, that has a "point" -- to inform, teach,
> question, entertain, educate, illustrate or amuse.
>
> Capturing common sense knowledge often involves uncovering the
> implicit, unstated assumptions behind communication, often best
> expressed through stories.  Work in story representations dates back
> to Schank-style scripts and other efforts in the 80s, but recent
> developments have unleashed new potential in this area. The maturity
> of common sense knowledge bases such as Cyc, Open Mind and
> ThoughtTreasure; statistical and corpora-based natural language
> understanding techniques; the explosion of participatory knowledge
> collection over the Web; progress in cognitive science; the  
> popularity of
> Web-based storytelling media such as blogs; and new common sense  
> reasoning
> techniques are all enablers of the new generation of work on common
> sense stories.
>
>
> Topics include, but are by no means limited to:
>
>     * Story understanding and natural language understanding
>     * Extraction of common sense knowledge from stories
>     * A cognitive modeling based understanding of stories
>     * Common sense knowledge bases to facilitate story understanding
> and story generation
>     * Acquiring story knowledge from users or from the internet
>     * Representation and reasoning with story knowledge
>     * Blogs and nonlinear fiction and nonfiction media as a source of
> stories or as a domain
>     * Interfaces to facilitate storytelling by users in text, audio,
> pictures, and video media
>
> SUBMISSIONS:
>
> We are accepting both papers and demos to our workshop.
>
> Please follow the same formatting guidelines as the main IUI
> conference, which are detailed at their call for papers. Workshop
> papers should be up to four pages in length and position paper should
> be one page in length.  Several of the workshop papers will be
> selected to give a short talk at the workshop.   Demo papers should be
> two pages in length. Papers should be prepared for blind review.
>
> Please keep in mind you will have to provide your own computer for the
> demo session.  Proceedings will be provided on CD and will be a
> collection of accepted papers, demos and position papers.
>
> Send your submissions in PDF form to csiui-pc at media.mit.edu.
