Abstract
In recent years, approach which tries to process human's sensibility with computer has become active as information processing technology develops. It is necessary to recognize human emotions so that the anthropomorphic agent and the sensibility robot may behave like the person, and to express own emotions. We are researching the emotion recognition technology to apply it to the sensibility robot. The approach of most emotion estimation targeted only superficial emotion expression. In this paper, we propose an emotion estimation algorithm based on the emotion word (or emotion idiom) and the emotion occurrence event sentence pattern. A prototype system based on the proposed method has been constructed and an evaluation experiment has been carried out. The result shows that the proposed method is effective.
