用进化搜索生成更有创意的故事开头,提升后续叙事质量。
StorySpark: Module-wise Evolutionary Search for Story Premise Generation
- 按背景、人物、事件等模块分步搜索优化,动态调整思路
- 生成的开头在原创性上显著优于基线模型,下游故事更完整精彩
- 适合想提升创意构思效率的创作者与内容生成研究者
故事前提是从中孕育完整叙事的创意火花。然而,当前基于大语言模型的故事生成多聚焦于后期规划、可控性、连贯性与文笔扩展,对前提层的创造性构思仍关注不足。我们提出 StorySpark,一种面向叙事模块的渐进式进化搜索框架。该框架以背景、人物、事件、结局和反转等可解释模块为单位,将每个活跃模块视为基于已有前提的局部搜索空间,而非一次性填空。对每个模块,它生成备选方案,结合上下文评估,通过反馈驱动的变异与重组优化,并采用帕累托指导的选择保留互补优势,同时重新分配探索资源以平衡分支覆盖与前景方向。多视角自动与人工评估表明,StorySpark生成的最终前提显著优于现有基线,尤其在原创性上表现一致提升;当使用相同故事写手展开时,其前提亦能生成更高质量的下游故事,同时保持完整性、吸引力及多样化的可用叙事路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
A story premise is the creative spark from which a full narrative can grow. Yet LLM-based story generation has mostly emphasized later-stage planning, controllability, coherence, and prose expansion, while premise-level ideation remains comparatively underexplored. We introduce StorySpark, a module-wise evolutionary search framework for story premise generation. StorySpark operates over interpretable narrative modules such as background, persona, event, ending, and twist, treating each active module not as a static field to fill once, but as a local search space conditioned on the partial premise built so far. For each module, it generates alternatives, evaluates them in context, refines them through feedback-driven mutation and recombination, preserves complementary strengths with Pareto-guided selection, and reallocates frontier capacity to balance branch coverage with promising directions. Multi-view automatic and human evaluations show that StorySpark produces stronger final premises than competitive baselines, with especially consistent gains in originality; when expanded with the same story writer, its premises also lead to higher-quality downstream stories while maintaining completeness, fascination, and diverse usable narrative directions.
