Abstract (arXiv)

Storytelling has always been vital for human nature. From ancient times, humans have used stories for several objectives including entertainment, advertisement, and education. Various analyses have been conducted by researchers and creators to determine the way of producing good stories. The deep relationship between stories and emotions is a prime example. With the advancement in deep learning technology, computers are expected to understand and generate stories. This survey paper is intended to summarize and further contribute to the development of research being conducted on the relationship between stories and emotions. We believe creativity research is not to replace humans with computers, but to find a way of collaboration between humans and computers to enhance the creativity. With the intention of creating a new intersection between computational storytelling research and human creative writing, we introduced creative techniques used by professional storytellers.
