An Extension of MPML with Emotion Recognition Functions Attached

In this paper, we discuss our research on the multimodal interaction markup language (MIML) which is an extension of multimodal presentation markup language (MPML). Different from MPML, MIML can describe not only the presentations of lifelike agents, but also their emotion detection capability with the facial expression recognition and speech emotion recognition functions attached. Emotional control on lifelike agents provided by MIML makes the human-agent interaction even more intelligent. With the MIML and functions we designed, web-based affective interaction can be described and generated easily.
