Speaker Awareness for Speech Emotion Recognition

Speaker dependent emotion recognition using speech signals

This paper examines three algorithms to recognize speaker’s emotion using the speech signals. Target emotions are happiness, sadness, anger, fear, boredom and neutral state. MLB(Maximum-Likelihood Bayes), NN(Nearest Neighbor) and HMM(Hidden Markov Model) algorithms are used as the pattern matching techniques. In all cases, pitch and energy are used as the features. The feature vectors for MLB a...

Emotion attribute projection for speaker recognition on emotional speech

Emotion is one of the important factors that cause the system performance degradation. By analyzing the similarity between channel effect and emotion effect on speaker recognition, an emotion compensation method called emotion attribute projection (EAP) is proposed to alleviate the intraspeaker emotion variability. The use of this method has achieved an equal error rate (EER) reduction of 11.7%...

Could Speaker, Gender or Age Awareness be beneficial in Speech-based Emotion Recognition?

Emotion Recognition (ER) is an important part of dialogue analysis which can be used in order to improve the quality of Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDSs). The emotional hypothesis of the current response of an end-user might be utilised by the dialogue manager component in order to change the SDS strategy which could result in a quality enhancement. In this study additional speaker-related informa...

Speaker Independent Speech Recognition Using Hidden Markov Models for Persian Isolated Words

Speaker Emotion Recognition Based on Speech Features and Classification Techniques

Speech Processing has been developed as one of the vital provision region of Digital Signal Processing. Speaker recognition is the methodology of immediately distinguishing who is talking dependent upon special aspects held in discourse waves. This strategy makes it conceivable to utilize the speaker's voice to check their character and control access to administrations, for example voice diali...
