Rogelio E. Cardona-Rivera, QED Lab Director and Assistant Professor of Computing and Entertainment Arts and Engineering at the University of Utah, was invited to participate in a panel on Prospective Cognition and Narrative at the 2019 AAAI Spring Symposium on Story-based Intelligence, celebrated at Stanford University in California, USA.
The panel was moderated by Adam Amos-Binks, Chief AI Scientist at Applied Research Associates, and included the panelists:
- Andrew Gordon, Director of Interactive Narrative Research at the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California
- Kelly Neville, Research Scientist at Soar Technology, Inc., and
- Dan Shapiro, Adjunct Professor of Computational Media at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
The panel discussed "Prospective Cognition," a form of anticipatory thinking, specifically targeting the role of narrative around this cognitive process. The discussion was based around the following questions:
- Does prospective cognition drive character expression?
- How can an agent act to produce a desired belief state in others?
- How might we account for the role of narrative expertise/fluency in prospection? Are novelists better at prospection than others? Or are they a good novelist because they were already good at prospective thinking?
- Under what conditions does prospection develop greater/lesser detail? greater/lesser accuracy?
- On what narrative detail does prospection depend?
