THEaiTRE 1.0: Interactive generation of theatre play scripts
This work addresses the need for automated script generation in theatre, but it is incremental as it builds on existing GPT-2 technology and notes unresolved issues.
The authors tackled the problem of generating theatre play scripts interactively by developing a system based on a modified GPT-2 model, which was used to create a script for a premiere in February 2021.
We present the first version of a system for interactive generation of theatre play scripts. The system is based on a vanilla GPT-2 model with several adjustments, targeting specific issues we encountered in practice. We also list other issues we encountered but plan to only solve in a future version of the system. The presented system was used to generate a theatre play script planned for premiere in February 2021.
