The ICAD/VisionLab laboratory, Department of Informatics/PUC-Rio, and UERJ present a new approach to story analysis and composition based on networks. As a proof of concept, variants of The Little Red Hood are easily created. The technique can also be used in serious games, such as the analysis of historical events. See the SBGames 2017 paper and the video.
