We consider the problem of designing an artificial agent capable of
interacting with humans in collaborative dialogue to produce creative, engaging
narratives. In this task, the goal is to establish universe details, and to
collaborate on an interesting story in that universe, through a series of
natural dialogue exchanges. Our model can augment any probabilistic
conversational agent by allowing it to reason about universe information
established and what potential next utterances might reveal. Ideally, with each
utterance, agents would reveal just enough information to add specificity and
reduce ambiguity without limiting the conversation. We empirically show that
our model allows control over the rate at which the agent reveals information
and that doing so significantly improves accuracy in predicting the next line
of dialogues from movies. We close with a case-study with four professional
theatre performers, who preferred interactions with our model-augmented agent
over an unaugmented agent.

设计一种人工智能代理，能够与人类进行协作对话，创作有趣的故事；该模型可以增强任何基于概率方法的对话代理，使其能够思考已建立的宇宙信息和潜在的下一句话可能揭示的内容。研究表明，此模型允许控制代理透露信息的速率，从而显著提高了预测电影对话下一行的准确性。
