Apparatus and methods for generating context-aware artificial intelligence characters

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:

• tag data in a media data stream to generate a plurality of data files of tagged data, the data files corresponding to different time periods in the storyline, the tagged data associated with a first character in the media data stream, the artificial intelligence character to portray the first character, the tagged data of respective ones of the time periods corresponding to at least one of a behavior of the first character, knowledge of the first character, a vocabulary of the first character, or an emotion of the first character;
• generate a response model of the first character based on the data file corresponding to a first time period and one or more data files corresponding to one or more second time periods of the storyline, the one or more second time periods earlier in time than the first time period;
• and
• apply the response model based on a stimulus input to animate the artificial intelligence character based on at least one of the behavior, knowledge, vocabulary, or emotion of the first character in the first time period of the storyline.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for tagging data in a media data stream to generate a plurality of data files of tagged data, the data files corresponding to different time periods in a storyline, the tagged data associated with a first character in the storyline, the artificial intelligence character to portray the first character, the tagged data of respective ones of the time periods corresponding to at least one of a behavior of the first character, knowledge of the first character, a vocabulary of the first character, or an emotion of the first character;
• means for storing the tagged data;
• and
• means for generating a response of the artificial intelligence character to an input based on a response model of the first character,
• the means for tagging the data to:
• identify the data files corresponding to a first time period of the storyline and one or more data files corresponding to one or more second time periods of the storyline in the means for storing the data, the one or more second time periods earlier in time than the first time period;
• and
• generate the response model based on the identified data files, and
• the means for generating the response to apply the response model based on the input to animate the artificial intelligence character based on at least one of the behavior, knowledge, vocabulary, or emotion of the first character in the first time period of the storyline.
