This paper introduces the generation of information and unique information on Kyōganoko Musume explanations into the system. First, we classified the explanations Dōjōji. For example, the term “Dōjōji” requires a general we collected. Thereafter, we prototyped a mechanism wherein the explanation of the building called Dōjōji, as well as an system automatically determines the content and method of an explanation of “Dōjōji” in the story. We obtained a general explanation based on arbitrary parameters. Through this trial, we explanation from Wikipedia and created a unique explanation will examine effective explanation methods for story generation. using [9].

In addition, the system determines the amount to be described based on the frequency information. The system omits the items that have already been explained and the items that the user has knowledge of (items with knowledge amount information of 8 or more). Frequency information and interest information are updated each time a description is generated. Frequency information increases the frequency value of the described item by 1. Interest information decrements the value of the described item by 0.1 and increases the value of the non-explained item by 0.1. III. BACKGROUND SYSTEMS Two systems (a simulation system for Kyōganoko Musume Dōjōji [7,8] and the expansion content generation mechanism [10]) are introduced; these form the basis for the proposed system. A. Simulation System for Kyōganoko Musume Dōjōji Fig. 2.

Thereafter, information on the element to be presents the architecture of a simulation system for Kyōganoko explained is obtained from the knowledge base, based on the Musume Dōjōji.

  • A History of Kane County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF <Kam County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF County Martha Sonntag Bradley Kane County is noted for some of the most beautiful—though often inhospitable—land in Utah and has been home to resourceful humans for thousands of years. It was outside the area of first Mormon settlement and was actually created in the early 1860s before many had moved to the area. After the Black Hawk War, settlers soon moved to favorable locations such as Kanab and Long Valley, establishing towns in the isolated region north of the Arizona Strip with economies based on ranching and timber harvesting. With the improvement of area roads and communications in the twentieth century, more people became aware of the scenic splen­ dor of the county, and tourism and movie making began to increase, Kanab even be­ coming known as Utah's Little Hollywood during the heyday of filmmaking. Traditional extractive uses of the land's resources have declined in recent years, but the recent cre­ ation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante Na­ tional Monument has brought the promise of increased tourism to the area. It also has sparked opposition from many who had hoped for coal mining development in the region. Issues of control and uses of public lands promise to be debated vigorously as the county enters the new millenium.
