Abstract

Within the Sensitive Artificial Listening Agent project, we propose a system that computes the behaviour of a listening agent. Such an agent must exhibit behaviour variations depending not only on its mental state towards the interaction (e.g., if it agrees or not with the speaker) but also on the agent's characteristics such as its emotional traits and its behaviour style. Our system computes the behaviour of the listening agent in real-time.
