Formalizations of episodes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Abstract:
Finding out what makes two stories equivalent is a daunting task for a
formalization of narratives. Using a high-level language of beliefs
and preferences for describing stories and a simple algorithm for
analyzing them, we determine the doxastic game fragment of actual
narratives from the TV crime series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
(TM), and identify a small number of basic building blocks sufficient
to construct the doxastic game structure of these narratives.
