NAREOR: The Narrative Reordering Problem

Understand

Many implicit inferences exist in text depending on how it is structured that can critically impact the text's interpretation and meaning.

• One such structural aspect present in text with chronology is the order of its presentation.
• For narratives or stories, this is known as the narrative order.
• Reordering a narrative can impact the temporal, causal, event-based, and other inferences readers draw from it, which in turn can have strong effects both on its interpretation and interestingness.
