Features Importance Analysis for Emotional Speech Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper analyzes the prosody features, which includes the intonation, speaking rate, intensity, based on classified emotional speech. As an important feature of voice quality, voice source are also deduced for analysis. With the analysis results above, the paper creates both a CART model and a weight decay neural network model to find acoustic importance towards the emotional speech classification and to disclose whether there is an underlying consistency between acoustic features and speech emotion. The result shows the proposed method can obtain the importance of each acoustic feature through its weight for emotional speech classification and further improve the emotional speech classification.

Classification of emotional speech using spectral pattern features
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...

Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....
متن کاملRecognizing emotions in speech using short-term and long-term features
The acoustic characteristics of speech are influenced by speakers’ emotional status. In this study, we attempted to recognize the emotional status of individual speakers by using speech features that were extracted from short-time analysis frames as well as speech features that represented entire utterances. Principal component analysis was used to analyze the importance of individual features ...
