Exploiting Model of Personality and Emotion of Learning Companion Agent

In the development and application of intelligent learning environments, an important trend is to integrate characteristics proper of human, such as personality and emotion, into the intelligent interface agents, with the aim of providing the student with a more personalized and friendly environment. The learning companion is a kind of very useful intelligent interface agent in the learning environment. Therefore, exploring the model of personality and emotion of learning companion agent is the crucial problem to make it more hominine and believable. In this paper, the related works on personality and emotions in psychology and artificial intelligence are reviewed briefly, and a framework of learning companion agent with Personality and Emotions is proposed. Based on the OCEAN model and the OCC model, the model of personality and emotion of learning companion agent is defined and formalized. Moreover, the computation and the coming implementation of the model are described in detail.
