An approach to construct an emotional dialogue system based on subjective observation

This paper introduces the basic concept of an emotional dialogue system and shows how to construct the system by computer simulation. The authors discuss a dialogue between 2 simulated persons who know only emotional words. First, the authors give an image code table of mixed emotions which are regarded as emotions in normal life. Secondly, the authors show how to design an emotional dialogue system based on the theory of a subjective observation model, which has application in several fields. The authors explain the outline of the theory. Finally, they present several attractive dialogues by computer simulation.<>
