Andrew S. Gordon is a Research Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southern California and Director of Interactive Narrative Research at the Institute for Creative Technologies. His work integrates artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and interactive storytelling to create systems that automatically interpret and generate narrative structures, with a special focus on commonsense reasoning and abductive inference. Education Ph.D. in Computer Science, Northwestern University, 1999 Research Interests Gordon’s research converges on computational narrative intelligence . He develops formal models of commonsense psychology that enable machines to reason about human intentions, beliefs, and emotions. His group designs interactive narrative systems for training and education, builds large-scale story corpora, and pioneers abductive reasoning techniques that combine symbolic logic and statistical learning to interpret temporal data. Recent work explores how large language models can be guided to co-create interactive fiction and how vision–language models can be benchmarked for causal understanding. Publication Trends Across more than two decades, his publications reveal consistent themes: (1) foundational theories of commonsense psychology and strategy representation, (2) narrative technologies that blend AI planning with human creativity, and (3) practical training simulations for defense and education. The 2024-2025 papers highlight a pivot toward evaluating and steering large language models for narrative tasks, while earlier work established abductive reasoning frameworks such as “Etcetera Abduction.” Awards & Honors Best Paper Award, System Lifecycle and Technologies Track, Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SIW 2021) Advising & Grants He has successfully mentored three PhD students—Reid Swanson (2010), Christopher Wienberg (2017), and Melissa Roemmele (2018)—whose dissertations span computational narrative, commonsense reasoning, and interactive fiction.
