Abstract

A system for emotionally enhancing dialogue includes a computing platform having processing hardware and a system memory storing a software code including a predictive model. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive dialogue data identifying an utterance for use by a digital character in a conversation, analyze, using the dialogue data, an emotionality of the utterance at multiple structural levels of the utterance, and supplement the utterance with one or more emotional attributions, using the predictive model and the emotionality of the utterance at the multiple structural levels, to provide one or more candidate emotionally enhanced utterance(s). The processing hardware further executes the software code to perform an audio validation of the candidate emotionally enhanced utterance(s) to provide a validated emotionally enhanced utterance, and output an emotionally attributed dialogue data providing the validated emotionally enhanced utterance for use by the digital character in the conversation.
