	"abstract": "Automated story generation remains a difficult area of research because it lacks strong objective measures. Generated stories may be linguistically sound, but in many cases suffer poor narrative coherence required for a compelling, logically-sound story. To address this, we present Fabula Entropy Indexing (FEI), an evaluation method to assess story coherence by measuring the degree to which human participants agree with each other when answering true/false questions about stories. We devise two theoretically grounded measures of reader question-answering entropy, the entropy of world coherence (EWC), and the entropy of transitional coherence (ETC), focusing on global and local coherence, respectively. We evaluate these metrics by testing them on human-written stories and comparing against the same stories that have been corrupted to introduce incoherencies. We show that in these controlled studies, our entropy indices provide a reliable objective measure of story coherence.",

FEI provides a structure for metrics that more objectively measure story coherence based on human question-answering. A fabula is a narratological term referring to the reader's inferred story world that a story takes place in, whether it be similar to the real world or a fantasy or science fiction world. The reader may of course be surprised by certain events but other events may seem implausible or contradictory, thus disrupting coherence. As they read, humans form cognitive structures to make sense of a story, which in turn can be used to answer simple true/false questions about the story. As such, an incoherent story results in readers making random guesses about the answers to these questions. FEI metrics thus measure the entropy of the answers-how much the answers disagree with each other-which directly correlates with the coherence of the story.",

Studies of human reading comprehension (Trabasso and Van Den Broek, 1985; Graesser et al., 1991 Graesser et al., , 1994 show that humans comprehend stories by tracking the relations between events. Reader comprehension studies suggest that readers rely on the tracking of at least four types of relations between events: (1) causal consequence, (2) goal hierarchies, (3) goal initiation, and (4) character intentions.

Implicit in the notion of perplexity is the belief that the quality of a model is tied to its ability to reconstruct its own data. However, in automated story generation, stories that are very dissimilar to training and testing data can also be \"good\". Likewise, BLEU (and related techniques such as ROGUE and sentence mover techniques (Clark et al., 2019) ) measure a language model's ability to produce n-grams in a specific target sentence, whereas a good story may not resemble a given target story and yet still be coherent.",

Many systems are evaluated with subjective questionnaires in which human partic-ipants either rate generated stories on a scale, or rank pairs of stories. Often a single question is asked about overall quality. Other subjective questions focusing on different story attributes, such as coherence, may be asked as well. Asking questions about coherence is tricky as participants may have different notions of what coherence might mean, from grammatical notions of coherence to logical story structure. Purdy et al. (2018) introduced a set of subjective questions for human participant studies about global coherence, local consistency, grammaticality, and overall story quality. Algorithms to predict how humans would answer these questions were also introduced. The goal of this work was to reduce reliance on expensive human-participant studies. One innovation is that they don't directly ask about coherence, which can be an ambiguous term, but instead ask questions such as \"the story appears to be a single plot\". This set of questions has been used by Tambwekar et al. (2019) and Ammanabrolu et al. (2020) . The algorithms introduced by Purdy et al. 2018were validated and proven to be reliable predictors but the measure of coherence was shown to be the weakest predictor.",
