EmoEmma: Emotional Speech Input for Interactive Storytelling (Demo Paper)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Whilst techniques for narrative generation and agent behaviour have made significant progress in recent years, natural language processing remains a bottleneck hampering the scalability of Interactive Storytelling systems. This demonstrator introduces a novel interaction technique based solely on emotional speech recognition. It allows the user to use speech to interact with virtual actors without any constraints on style or expressivity, by mapping the recognised emotional categories to narrative situations and virtual characters feelings.

متن کاملNon-instructional Linguistic Communication with Virtual Actors
In this paper, we explore a new paradigm for natural language communication with autonomous agents. While the dominant paradigm is to use natural language instructions from which the agent behaviour is generated, we investigate how natural language input can influence a pre-existing planbased behaviour, by interfering with the various types of sub-goals in such a plan. Using as a testbed a full...
