An Experiment in Emotional Content Classification of Spoken Finnish Using Prosodic Features

چکیده
An emotional speech corpus of Finnish was collected that includes utterances of four emotional states of speakers. More than 40 prosodic features were computed for speech samples. Statistical classification experiments indicate that emotion recognition performance comparable to human listeners can be achieved. However, due to the small amount of data, the results must be interpreted cautiously.
