Existing user simulators (USs) for task-oriented dialogue systems only model user behaviour on semantic and natural language levels without considering the user persona and emotions. Optimising dialogue systems with generic user policies, which cannot ...

We present a novel, real-time algorithm, EVA, for generating virtual agents with various perceived emotions. Our approach is based on using Expressive Features of gaze and gait to convey emotions corresponding to happy, sad, angry, or neutral. We ...

Emotional agents are useful to variety of computer application. This paper focuses on the emotion surprise. Surprise is the automatic reaction to a mismatch, which plays an important role in the behaviors of intelligent agents. We represent psychology ...
