Text-description based generation of avatars for artificial intelligence characters

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the computing system to:
• receive a description of a face of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) character, the description being in a free-text format, the face of the AI character being rendered by an AI character model in a virtual environment, the AI character model including at least one parameter of the AI character model, the at least one parameter corresponding to at least one facial feature of the face of the AI character;
• generate, based on the description, at least one setting for the at least one parameter;
• track interactions of the AI character with a user in the virtual environment;
• detect objects surrounding the AI character in a plurality of scenes in the virtual environment, wherein the AI character transitions from a first scene of the plurality of scenes to a second scene of the plurality of scenes;
• based on the interactions and the objects detected in the plurality of scenes, change runtime parameters of the AI character model, the runtime parameters being associated with an emotional state of the AI character;
• and
• during the interactions and based on the at least one setting and the runtime parameters, generate, using a pretrained machine learning model, a facial expression of the AI character.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:

• receive a description of a face of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) character, the description being in a free-text format, the face of the AI character being rendered by an AI character model in a virtual environment, the AI character model including at least one parameter of the AI character model, the at least one parameter corresponding to at least one facial feature of the face of the AI character;
• generate, based on the description, at least one setting for the at least one parameter;
• track interactions of the AI character with a user in the virtual environment;
• detect objects surrounding the AI character in a plurality of scenes in the virtual environment, wherein the AI character transitions from a first scene of the plurality of scenes to a second scene of the plurality of scenes;
• based on the interactions and the objects detected in the plurality of scenes, change runtime parameters of the AI character model, the runtime parameters being associated with an emotional state of the AI character;
• and
• during the interactions and based on the at least one setting and the runtime parameters, generate, using a pretrained machine learning model, a facial expression of the AI character.
