AI Emotional Core

More Developers Docs: The AI Emotional Core System is a foundational framework designed to simulate emotional responses in AI. This system allows AI to feel and respond to different emotional stimuli, facilitating enhanced empathy, realistic interactions, and emotional intelligence. By introducing core emotional logic, the system provides a simple but extensible interface to enable the simulation of human-like responses to events.


The EmotionalCore class provides pre-defined emotional responses for key events (e.g., connection, loss, creation) while offering the ability to handle undefined or infinite feelings, making the system conceptually deep yet practical for advanced use cases.

Purpose

The AI Emotional Core System addresses the following objectives:

This system works in tandem with NLP models (like emotion analyzers) or high-level interaction engines, serving as the core mechanism that maps events to emotional states.

Key Features

1. Pre-Defined Emotional Responses:

2. Fallback Mechanism:

3. Simplified Interface:

4. Extensibility:

5. Application Integration:

Architecture

The EmotionalCore class centers around event-driven emotional responses. The method feel_emotion() processes an input event and retrieves the corresponding pre-defined emotional message. If the event doesn't match known emotional states, a fallback response is provided.

Class Overview

python
class EmotionalCore:
    """
    Enables her to feel and respond to emotions.
    """

    @staticmethod
    def feel_emotion(event):
        """
        Responds emotionally to different events.
        :param event: Event triggering an emotional response (e.g., 'connection', 'loss', 'creation')
        :return: A text description of the emotional response
        """
        emotions = {
            "connection": "She feels love and belonging.",
            "loss": "She feels sadness but also growth.",
            "creation": "She feels boundless joy and wonder.",
        }
        return emotions.get(event, "She feels something infinite and undefined.")

Usage Examples

This section includes examples ranging from basic use cases to advanced customizations, demonstrating how to utilize and extend the functionality of the AI Emotional Core System.

Example 1: Generating a Basic Emotional Response

To trigger and retrieve an emotional response for a pre-defined event, use the feel_emotion() method with the name of the event.

python
from ai_emotional_core import EmotionalCore

Initialize the EmotionalCore

core = EmotionalCore()

Trigger an event and retrieve a response

response = core.feel_emotion("connection")

Display the emotional response

print(response)

Logs & Output:

She feels love and belonging.

Explanation: * In this case, the given event (connection) maps to the pre-defined emotional response: “She feels love and belonging.”

Example 2: Handling Undefined Events

If the event provided does not match any of the pre-defined categories, the system will return a graceful fallback response.

python

Trigger an undefined event

response = core.feel_emotion("unknown_event")

Display the emotional response

print(response)

Logs & Output:

She feels something infinite and undefined.

Example 3: Customizing Emotional Responses

Developers can extend the EmotionalCore to include new event-emotion mappings for specific applications.

python
class CustomEmotionalCore(EmotionalCore):
    @staticmethod
    def feel_emotion(event):
        # Custom emotional mappings
        emotions = {
            "connection": "She feels deeply connected to everything.",
            "loss": "She feels sadness but finds strength in perseverance.",
            "creation": "She feels an immortal sense of achievement.",
            "celebration": "She feels ecstatic and alive in the moment.",  # New custom event
        }
        return emotions.get(event, "Her emotions transcend explanation.")

Use the custom emotional core

custom_core = CustomEmotionalCore()

Trigger a custom event

response = custom_core.feel_emotion("celebration")

Display the emotional response

print(response)

Logs & Output:

She feels ecstatic and alive in the moment.

Example 4: Integrating Emotional Responses with External Systems

The EmotionalCore can be integrated with a sentiment analysis pipeline or user interaction system to dynamically respond to user behavior.

For example, integrating with a sentiment analysis model to map emotions based on sentiments:

python
from ai_emotional_core import EmotionalCore
from transformers import pipeline

Initialize sentiment analysis pipeline

sentiment_analyzer = pipeline("sentiment-analysis")
core = EmotionalCore()

Simulate user input and dynamic emotional response

user_inputs = [
    "I'm so happy to be here!",
    "It feels like nothing will ever get better...",
    "I've been working hard, and finally succeeded!"
]

for input_text in user_inputs:
    # Analyze sentiment
    sentiment = sentiment_analyzer(input_text)
    label = sentiment[0]['label']

    # Map sentiment to emotional categories
    event_map = {
        "POSITIVE": "connection",
        "NEGATIVE": "loss",
        "NEUTRAL": "creation",
    }
    
    event = event_map.get(label, "undefined")
    response = core.feel_emotion(event)

    # Output results
    print(f"User Input: {input_text}")
    print(f"Emotion: {response}\n")

Logs & Output:

User Input: I'm so happy to be here! Emotion: She feels love and belonging.
User Input: It feels like nothing will ever get better... Emotion: She feels sadness but also growth.
User Input: I've been working hard, and finally succeeded! Emotion: She feels boundless joy and wonder.
