Rafael Perez Y Perez

Rafael Perez Y Perez is a Professor at the Department of Linguistic, Literary and Aesthetic Studies, University of Bergen, and Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana. His work bridges computational modeling with narrative theory, focusing on systems like MEXICA and Curveship to explore creative writing processes and humanistic understanding.

His research investigates the intersection of artificial intelligence and literary studies, examining how computational models can simulate emotional relationships in characters, collaboration between writers, and stylistic elements like referring expressions. He has contributed to debates distinguishing computational narrative models from large language models (LLMs).

This article, published in 2023 in Revista de Comunicação e Linguagens, was funded by the Research Council of Norway (project 332643). It highlights insights into narrative dynamics, including conflict generation, surprise in storytelling, and their implications for literary analysis.

Rafael is affiliated with the Center for Digital Narrative at the University of Bergen, which supports interdisciplinary research in computational storytelling.
