We inform about AI: When a Robot Writes a Play, a theatre play with a mostly artificially generated script. We describe the THEaiTRobot 1.0 tool, which was used to generate the script. We discuss various issues encountered in the process, including those that we solved to some extent as well as those which we plan to solve in a future version of the system.

We present THEaiTRE, a starting research project aimed at automatic generation of theatre play scripts. This paper reviews related work and drafts an approach we intend to follow. We plan to adopt generative neural language models and hierarchical generation approaches, supported by summarization and machine translation methods, and complemented with a human-in-the-loop approach.

Decision making theories such as Fuzzy-Trace Theory (FTT) suggest that individuals tend to rely on gist, or bottom-line meaning, in the text when making decisions. In this work, we delineate the process of developing GisPy, an opensource tool in Python for measuring the Gist Inference Score (GIS) in text. Evaluation of GisPy on documents in three benchmarks from the news and scientific text domains demonstrates that scores generated by our tool significantly distinguish low vs. high gist documents.
