The WhIM-project site appears to be down, leaving my blog post about it a little too high in the search rankings–I’d much rather the actual research project be there for people to find! The project ended in September of 2016, and it appears that the site didn’t outlive that by much.

I don’t have any links to the papers published about the research at hand, though a quick search turned up several:

Llano, M., Rose Hepworth, Simon Colton, John Charnley, and Jeremy Gow. “Automating fictional ideation using ConceptNet.” In Proceedings of the AISB14 symposium on computational creativity. 2014.

Llano, Maria Teresa, Rose Hepworth, Simon Colton, Jeremy Gow, John William Charnley, Nada Lavrac, Martin Znidarsic, Matic Perovsek, Mark Granroth-Wilding, and Stephen Clark. “Baseline Methods for Automated Fictional Ideation.” In ICCC, pp. 211-219. 2014.

Valitutti, Alessandro. “Creative Systems as Dynamical Systems.” In ICCBR (Workshops), pp. 146-150. 2015.

I’m sure that there’s lots more out there.

(I also came across this completely unrelated paper about generating poetry in Bengali, which appears to be interestingly different from English text generation:
Das, Amitava, and Björn Gambäck. “Poetic Machine: Computational Creativity for Automatic Poetry Generation in Bengali.” In ICCC, pp. 230-238. 2014.)

If this is the kind of thing that interests you, you may want to check out the work coming out of the International Conference on Computational Creativity. ICCC 2017 was just a few weeks ago.
