There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Scheherazade, developed by Mark Riedl and colleagues at Georgia Tech, can tell stories set in any world it can learn about via the internet. Using crowdsourcing platforms like Amazon's Mechanical Turk, the system requests sample actions that can happen in various scenarios, such as a bank robbery. Scheherazade strings together many sequences of actions to get a sense of what actions are possible and the order in which they must appear.
