Summary: | Computer systems need to have sufficient ability and intelligence to communicate with people. To this end, they have to be able to interpret or to manage certain types of information that people are used to perceiving in human communications, such as speech modulation, facial expression, and so on taking human emotions into account. The ontology-based platform proposed in this paper attempts to support the development of resources that need to take emotion transmission into account, especially in communication between users and interactive systems. To this end, the factors relevant to the transmission of affective states have been studied and included in an ontology. Based on this ontology, a platform was created to guide the development of emotional resources that provide users with more natural interfaces. Finally, an interactive multimodal system was created to validate the proposed ontology-based platform and to apply the study to real-life cases.
