Abstract

Exploring the cutting-edge field of artificial intelligence, this work delves into how this emerging technology can be applied to the field of automated storytelling. The objective is to identify a clear and well-defined methodology capable of analyzing a text, recognizing the narrative elements within the story and, based on this, structuring the narrative into sequences. All these processes are to be carried out in an automated manner. Subsequently, based on this methodology, an application will be implemented that introduces a new algorithm that integrates natural language processing and unsupervised machine learning techniques. Finally, through a series of experiments on historical texts and the use of metrics, the effectiveness and potential of the proposed model will be demonstrated.
