  As the body of research on machine narrative comprehension grows, there is a
critical need for consideration of performance assessment strategies as well as
the depth and scope of different benchmark tasks. Based on narrative theories,
reading comprehension theories, as well as existing machine narrative reading
comprehension tasks and datasets, we propose a typology that captures the main
similarities and differences among assessment tasks; and discuss the
implications of our typology for new task design and the challenges of
narrative reading comprehension.
