We are constantly building a posteriori stories about how events happened, and about how you can make connections to come up with a coherent whole.

Toward a formal theory of narratives

The activities of people as well as of artificial agents in reality, virtual reality or simulation can be recorded as data that discretize trajectories of body parts and the ensuing force events. While these data provide vast amounts of information they are, by themselves, meaningless.

It is widely accepted that humans construct narratives to make sense of complex issues in their lives and society. If we want to build machines that are capable of truly understanding such narratives, we need to be able to reliably identify and track the characters and other entities that play a role in a narrative. For example, if a person writes: “The boy likes The Witches. The book was written by Roald Dahl.”
