A Model for Personality and Emotion Simulation

  • Conference paper
Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems (KES 2003)

Abstract

This paper describes a generic model for personality, mood and emotion simulation for conversational virtual humans. We present a generic model for describing and updating the parameters related to emotional behaviour. Also, this paper explores how existing theories for appraisal can be integrated into the framework. Finally we describe a prototype system that uses the described models in combination with a dialogue system and a talking head with synchronised speech and facial expressions.
