Abstract :
In this paper, we describe a tool for developing animated agents with facial expressions in negotiation through a computer network. The tool learns a user´s tendency to select facial expressions of the animated agent, and generates facial expressions instead of human. In order to estimate facial expressions, the tool has an emotional model constructed by Bayesian network. We can easily develop animated agents if we use this tool as a component. And we describe the estimation of an opponent´s emotional state, based on observed data, by using the Bayesian network.
