BIO

How can a computer write a novel? What would be the implications and applications across different industries, if generating a novel was viable?

Hi, my name is Louis Castricato! I was previously Mathematics major at uWaterloo. I am now a Masters student at Georgia Tech, advised by Professor Mark Riedl. Soon to be a PhD student at a university near you!

My primary interests are into generative computational narratology. I aim to take tweets about natural disasters in real-time and generate evacuation plans from them. An interactive narrative at a previously unprecedented scale.

One day I'll make an AI that writes a full length (good) novel.

OPEN DOMAIN EVENT EXTRACTION

Using NLI and Common Sense Reasoning methods to perform open domain event extraction in short stories.

Stacked Books

PLOT HOLE DETECTION

Performing Monte Carlo integration over narratives to produce an incoherency score. Books with higher incoherency scores are more likely to have plot holes.
