  • Publication number: 20260330272
    Abstract: There is provided a system including a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code and a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC). The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user, predict, using a trained machine learning model and the reminiscence, at least one user memory feature, identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC based on a similarity between the predicted at least one user memory feature and the memory features for the AIIC, determine a mood modifier based on emotion information of the identified one or more of the memory features for the AIIC, and generate a creative composition for performance by the AIIC based on the mood modifier.

  • Patent number: 12731056
    Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC), and a trained machine learning (ML) model. The software code is executed to elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user, predict, using the trained ML model and the reminiscence, one or more user memory feature(s) of the reminiscence, identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC as corresponding to the user memory feature(s), and determine, using the user memory feature(s), a mood modifier for a creative composition. The software code is further executed to produce, based on the mood modifier and the corresponding one or more of the plurality of memory features for the AIIC, the creative composition, and provide the creative composition to the AIIC.
