| Challenge: | Emotional expressions can be used to express the speaker’s emotion more directly than using only emotion expression in the text. |
| Approach: | They built a speech dialogue corpus in a persuasive scenario that uses emotional expressions to build a system with emotional expression. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can express the speaker's emotion more directly than using only emotion expression in the text, and the results show that the collected emotional expressions with their speeches have higher emotional expressiveness for expressing the system's emotions to users. |
