Techniques for selecting an emotion type code associated with semantic content in an interactive dialog system. In an aspect, fact or profile inputs are provided to an emotion classification algorithm, which selects an emotion type based on the specific combination of fact or profile inputs. The emotion classification algorithm may be rules-based or derived from machine learning. A previous user input may be further specified as input to the emotion classification algorithm. The techniques are especially applicable in mobile communications devices such as smartphones, wherein the fact or profile inputs may be derived from usage of the diverse function set of the device, including online access, text or voice communications, scheduling functions, etc.
