Systems that can describe their own behavior exhibit intelligence of a higher order. Storytelling-like capabilities empower systems to explain their decisions, describe their activities, align their present situation against precedent, consider hypothetical alternatives, diagnose their mistakes, learn from stories, and generalize their experiences. A number of research efforts have independently explored aspects of such machine-generated descriptions, but interaction between specialized subareas of AI remains sparse in the literature. These specialized areas include:
- Explainable AI (XAI), focusing on augmenting machine learning frameworks with compositional, humanly-interpretable representations.
- Case-based reasoning, focusing on deploying previous stories to understand new phenomena.
- Hypothetical reasoning, focusing on understanding which is augmented by speculation about variations in past, present, and future circumstances.
- Narrative intelligence, focusing on modeling the human aspects of producing and interpreting narratives and explanations.
- Cognitive architectures, focusing on the design of large-scale symbolic systems.
- Natural language generation and understanding, focusing on modeling human facility with language, including description, conversation, persuasion, explanation, and teaching.
- Planning, focusing on generating problem-solving action sequences, often involving skillful incorporation of contingency, constraints, other agents, and incomplete information.
