  abstract:
    We describe Machine-Aided Script Curator (MASC), a system for human-machine
    collaborative script authoring. Scripts produced with MASC include (1) English
    descriptions of sub-events that comprise a larger, complex event; (2) event types
    for each of those events; (3) a record of entities expected to participate in
    multiple sub-events; and (4) temporal sequencing between the sub-events. MASC
    automates portions of the script creation process with suggestions for event types,
    links to Wikidata, and sub-events that may have been forgotten. We illustrate
    how these automations are useful to the script writer with a few case-study scripts.
