With the advancement of natural language generation (NLG) technologies, creative story generation systems have gained increasing attention. However, current systems often fail to accurately translate user intent into satisfactory story outputs due to a lack of fine-grained control and unclear input specifications, limiting their applicability. To address this, we propose TaleFrame, a system that combines large language models (LLMs) with human-computer interaction (HCI) to generate stories through structured information, enabling precise control over the generation process. The innovation of TaleFrame lies in decomposing the story structure into four basic units: entities, events, relationships, and story outline. We leverage the Tinystories dataset, parsing and constructing a preference dataset consisting of 9,851 JSON-formatted entries, which is then used to fine-tune a local Llama model. By employing this JSON2Story approach, structured data is transformed into coherent stories. TaleFrame also offers an intuitive interface that supports users in creating and editing entities and events and generates stories through the structured framework. Users can control these units through simple interactions (e.g., drag-and-drop, attach, and connect), thus influencing the details and progression of the story. The generated stories can be evaluated across seven dimensions (e.g., creativity, structural integrity), with the system providing suggestions for refinement based on these evaluations. Users can iteratively adjust the story until a satisfactory result is achieved. Finally, we conduct quantitative evaluation and user studies that demonstrate the usefulness of TaleFrame.

AI Stories是一个建议的互动对话系统，让儿童通过对话共同创造叙事世界。在接下来的三年里，该系统将在儿科病房内开发和测试，在那里它提供了教育和游戏之间的差距有用的资源。讲故事和编故事是语言游戏的一个基本组成部分，它的健谈和无意义的品质是很重要的;因此，自动化系统提供的开场白对儿童是有益的。在本文中，我将介绍这个项目的现状，在其更多的实验和一般的幌子。从概念上讲，通过对话讲故事涉及到故事的预印本解释，超越了静态和线性的媒介，在那里故事是表演的，时间的和社会的。
