چکیده

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% with the EER reduced from 9.81% to 8.66%. When a linear fusion based on a GMM-UBM system with an EER of 9.38% and an SVM-EAP system with an EER of 8.66% is adopted, another EER reduction of 22.5% and 16.1% can be further achieved, respectively, and the final EER can be 7.27%.

Multimodal Emotion Recognition Based on the Decoupling of Emotion and Speaker Information

The standard features used in emotion recognition carry, besides the emotion related information, also cues about the speaker. This is expected, since the nature of emotionally colored speech is similar to the variations in the speech signal, caused by different speakers. Therefore, we present a gradient descent derived transformation for the decoupling of emotion and speaker information contai...

Cross-Subject Continuous Emotion Recognition Using Speech and Body Motion in Dyadic Interactions

Dyadic interactions encapsulate rich emotional exchange between interlocutors suggesting a multimodal, cross-speaker and cross-dimensional continuous emotion dependency. This study explores the dynamic inter-attribute emotional dependency at the cross-subject level with implications to continuous emotion recognition based on speech and body motion cues. We propose a novel two-stage Gaussian Mix...

A Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals

Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...

Speech Emotion Recognition Based on Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients in Noisy Conditions

Automatic recognition of speech emotional states in noisy conditions has become an important research topic in the emotional speech recognition area, in recent years. This paper considers the recognition of emotional states via speech in real environments. For this task, we employ the power normalized cepstral coefficients (PNCC) in a speech emotion recognition system. We investigate its perfor...

A Database for Automatic Persian Speech Emotion Recognition: Collection, Processing and Evaluation

Abstract   Recent developments in robotics automation have motivated researchers to improve the efficiency of interactive systems by making a natural man-machine interaction. Since speech is the most popular method of communication, recognizing human emotions from speech signal becomes a challenging research topic known as Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). In this study, we propose a Persian em...
