本文描述了一个共同创造的文本生成系统，应用于科幻小说设置中，供知名小说家使用。该项目是作为荷兰图书周的一部分发起的，生成的文本将在一本科幻故事集中出版。我们探讨了在共同创作过程中应用自然语言生成的后果，并研究了共同创作环境对作家和机器的挑战。我们使用字符级语言模型来基于大量荷兰小说语料库生成文本，该语料库向用户公开了许多可调参数。该系统通过自定义图形用户界面使用，帮助作者通过文本生成系统引出、修改和合并建议。除了文学作品外，本项目的输出还包括用户生成的元数据，预计这些元数据将有助于对文本生成系统和所涉及的共同创作过程进行定量评估。
This paper describes a co-creative text generation system applied within a science fiction setting to be used by an established novelist. The project was initiated as part of The Dutch Book Week, and the generated text will be published within a volume of science fiction stories. We explore the ramifications of applying Natural Language Generation within a cocreative process, and examine where the cocreative setting challenges both writer and machine. We employ a character-level language model to generate text based on a large corpus of Dutch novels that exposes a number of tunable parameters to the user. The system is used through a custom graphical user interface, that helps the writer to elicit, modify and incorporate suggestions by the text generation system. Besides a literary work, the output of the present project also includes user-generated meta-data that is expected to contribute to the quantitative evaluation of the text-generation system and the co-creative process involved.
