Following close reading and thematic analysis of our anthology, we present five themes that characterize the variations found in this creative visual storytelling process: (1) Narrating What is in Vision vs. Envisioning; (2) Dynamically Characterizing Entities/Objects; (3) Sensing Experiential Information About the Scenery; (4) Modulating the Mood; (5) Encoding Narrative Biases. In understanding the varied ways that people derive stories from images, we offer considerations for collecting story-driven training data to inform automatic story generation. In correspondence with each theme, we envision narrative intelligence criteria for computational visual storytelling as: creative, reliable, expressive, grounded, and responsible. From these criteria, we discuss how to foreground creative expression, account for biases, and operate in the bounds of visual storyworlds.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04529v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.04529v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"envisioning-narrative-intelligence-a-creative","repo_url":"https://github.com/USArmyResearchLab/ARL-Creative-Visual-Storytelling","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"story-generation","task_name":"Story Generation"},{"task_slug":"visual-storytelling","task_name":"Visual Storytelling"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"creative-visual-storytelling-anthology","name":"Creative Visual Storytelling Anthology","full_name":"ARL Creative Visual Storytelling Anthology"}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2310.04529","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
