Special Topic: Modelling Affect in Dialogue Systems
Systems that exhibit or try to detect and model emotion or other attitudes (e.g. surprise, uncertainty, engagement), are sometimes called "affective". Currently there are lots of varieties of affective aspects that are considered, models of affect, and how they are used in dialogue systems.Required Readings
