Abstract

In this paper we introduce a novel pattern-based model for generating emotion sentences. Our model starts with initial patterns, then constructs extended patterns. From the extended patterns, we chose good patterns that are suitable for generating emotion sentences. We also introduce a sentence planning module, which provides rules and constraints for our model. We present some examples and results for our model. We show that the model can generate various types of emotion sentences, either from semantic representation of input, or by choosing the pattern and the desired emotion class.
