Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach to Emotion Estimation that assesses the affective content from textual messages. Our main goals are to detect emotion from chat or other dialogue messages and to employ animated agents capable of the emotional reasoning based on the textual interaction. In this paper, the emotion estimation module is applied to a chat system, where avatars associated with chat partners act out the assessed emotions of messages through multiple modalities, including synthetic speech and associated affective gestures.
