Abstract:
A nonverbal information generation apparatus includes a nonverbal information generation unit that generates time-information-stamped nonverbal information that corresponds to time-information-stamped text feature quantities on the basis of the time-information-stamped text feature quantities and a learned nonverbal information generation model. The time-information-stamped text feature quantities are configured to include feature quantities that have been extracted from text and time information representing times assigned to predetermined units of the text. The nonverbal information is information for controlling an expression unit that expresses behavior that corresponds to the text.
