Abstract

The invention provides a method for predicting emotional states for a robot. The method comprises the steps of determining a first emotional state of a first user, wherein the first emotional state is an emotional state of the first user at a first moment; predicting a second emotional state according to the first emotional state and a first emotion prediction model, wherein the second emotional state is an emotional state of the first user at a second moment, and the second moment is after the first moment; and outputting a response to the first user according to the second emotional state. According to the method for predicting the emotional states for the robot, the emotional state of the first user at the next moment can be predicted through the emotional state of the first user at the first moment and the first emotion prediction model so that a timely early warning or a communication skill suggestion can be provided for the two parties of a conversation, and therefore the conversation effect can be further improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

Description

technical field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of artificial intelligence, and more specifically, to a method and a robot for predicting emotional states in the field of artificial intelligence. Background technique

[0002] With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, the first task of the new generation of artificial intelligence system is to have the ability of "perceptual" emotional connection, so as to meet people's general psychological and emotional needs in a way more like real human beings, so as to gradually build trust and dependence feel. In other words, artificial intelligence should not be just an ordinary intellectual tool, and the development path of artificial intelligence should not blindly follow the rational route, but should fall in the intersection area of ​​sensibility and rationality.

[0003] Affective computing will play a vital role in the development of artificial intelligence. We have also seen mor...

Embodiment Construction

[0076] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0077] Emotion is the subjective reflection of the human nervous system to external value relations, it is the experience of objective things, and it plays an important role in rational behavior and rational decision-making. The emotion assessment in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the ability of the computer system to recognize the human emotion state at the current moment, which can also be called emotion recognition. Emotion prediction refers to the computer system's ability to recognize the current emotional state of human beings and predict the emotional state of the next moment based on the current emotional state.

[0078] From a physiological point of view, emotional state includes three elements: emotional state experience, emotional state performance, and emotional state physiology. However, in fact, we d...
