Abstract :
We describe the design and report the development of an open source ware toolkit for building an easily customizable anthropomorphic dialog agent. This toolkit consists of four modules for multi-modal dialog integration, speech recognition, speech synthesis, and face image synthesis. In this paper, we focus on the construction of an agent´s face image synthesis.
