Generating Multimodal Ironic Utterances for Social Robots

The small talk scenario uses a text chat bot. Its output utterances are transformed into an ironic multimodal version by applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Generation (NLG) for generating the irony factor. Additional multimodal markers are added. The resulting multimodal behavior is presented by the robot. The paper “Irony Man: Augmenting a Social Robot with the Ability to Use Irony in Multimodal Communication with Humans“ was presented at AAMAS 2019 conference in Montreal, Can
