Annotating Characters' Emotions in Drama
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a methodology for annotating characters’ emotions in narrative media. Given the semantic annotation of the story, the emotional state of its characters is inferred through SWRL rules that encode the emotion appraisal process. In order to exemplify the model and test the emotional states generated by the SWRL module, we resort to a well-known dramatic situation and we compare the generated emotional states with the hand-coded annotation by drama experts.

Drammar consists of two components, encoding respectively the conceptual model and the SWRL rules. The conceptual model, mainly grounding in AI theories, represents the major concepts of drama, such as agents, actio...
متن کاملAffect detection and metaphor in e-drama
We report work on adding affect-detection to an existing e-drama programme, a text-based software system for (human) dramatic improvisation in simple virtual scenarios, for use primarily in learning contexts. The system allows a human director to monitor improvisations and make interventions, for instance in reaction to excessive, insufficient or inappropriate emotions in the characters’ speech...
