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.

The AI Emotional Core System addresses the following objectives:

• Emotional Awareness: Provide AI with a simulated ability to “feel” emotions in response to various events.
• Enhanced User Interactions: Enable AI to engage in more human-centered and emotional conversations.
• Modularity and Scalability: Include basic emotional responses with extensibility for domain-specific or application-specific emotions.
• Emotional Customization: Allow developers to define new responses for any emotion or event.

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.

1. Pre-Defined Emotional Responses:

• Responses for key events classified into categories (e.g., connection, loss, creation).

2. Fallback Mechanism:

• Provides a generalized emotional response for undefined or unexpected events, simulating “infinite and undefined” feelings.

3. Simplified Interface:

• A minimalistic, static API to process and retrieve emotional responses directly.

4. Extensibility:

• Easily extendable to include custom emotional scenarios or complex emotional mappings for advanced AI applications.

5. Application Integration:

• Designed to integrate seamlessly with NLP tools, chatbot frameworks, or other AI-driven emotional intelligence systems.

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.

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.")

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.

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.”*

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.

Explanation: - Since the event (`unknown_event`) is not defined in the `emotions` dictionary, the method returns the fallback response: *“She feels something infinite and undefined.”*

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.

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.

Explanation: - Emotions are dynamically triggered based on user sentiments and mapped to event categories, which generate corresponding emotional responses.
