       Yun-Gyung Cheong, Ph.D.

V.I.K.I.:You are making a mistake. Do you not see the logic of my plan?

Sonny: Yes. But it just seems too...heartless.

                                                       - I, Robot

I have explored fine connections between humans and the computers, dreaming a robot with a warm heart. I'm working on interactive storytelling techniques on various platforms including 3D animation and emotional robots. My research invlovles computational models of stories such as story summarization, suspenseful story generation, and focalization.

Research interests
Future storytelling, narrative and discourse generation, computational models of narrative, intelligent tutoring agent, robots, intelligent user interface, natural language processing, planning, AI.
