  • Affect-driven dialog generation
    Patent number: 10818312
    Abstract: According to one implementation, an affect-driven dialog generation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code including a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) architecture trained using a loss function having an affective regularizer term based on a difference in emotional content between a target dialog response and a dialog sequence determined by the seq2seq architecture during training. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an input dialog sequence, and to use the seq2seq architecture to generate emotionally diverse dialog responses based on the input dialog sequence and a predetermined target emotion. The hardware processor further executes the software code to determine, using the seq2seq architecture, a final dialog sequence responsive to the input dialog sequence based on an emotional relevance of each of the emotionally diverse dialog responses, and to provide the final dialog sequence as an output.
