Paper Reading #20 - Raconteur: from intent to stories

Reference:

Summary:
This paper is about Raconteur.  Raconteur is a system that is designed to help users create stories from annotated media elements.  The system uses the AnalogySpace Commonsense reasoning technique.  The system is designed to help users understand how a story fits together.  The focus is on pictures and videos to help novice editors.   

Discussion:
I'm not sure what to think about this system.  On one hand, it will help users understand a story and how each piece fits together.  However, on the other hand, it is intended to be used by novice editors.  I don't know if this is good or not.  This new system may take jobs away from good editors because any novice can use this software.
