The present status of speech emotion recognition was introduced in the paper. The emotional databases of Chinese speech and facial expressions were established with the noise stimulus and movies evoking subjects' emtion. For different emotional states, we analyzed the single-mode speech emotion recognitions based the prosodic features and the geometric features of facial expression. Then, we discussed the bimodal emotion recognition by the use of Gaussian Mixture Model. The experimental results show that, the bimodal emotion recognition rate combined with facial expression is about 6% higher than the single model recognition rate merely using prosodic features.

Automatic Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a current research topic in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) with a wide range of applications. The purpose of speech emotion recognition system is to automatically classify speaker's utterances into different emotional states such as disgust, boredom, sadness, neutral, and happiness. The speech samples in this paper are from the Berlin emotional database. Mel Frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCC), Linear prediction coefficients (LPC), linear prediction cepstrum coefficients (LPCC), Perceptual Linear Prediction (PLP) and Relative Spectral Perceptual Linear Prediction (Rasta-PLP) features are used to characterize the emotional utterances using a combination between Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence Kernel. In this study, the effect of feature type and its dimension are comparatively investigated. The best results are obtained with 12-coefficient MFCC. Utilizing the proposed features a recognition rate of 84% has been achieved which is close to the performance of humans on this database.

This paper introduces the present status of speech emotion detection. In order to improve the emotion recognition rate of single mode, the bimodal fusion method based on speech and facial expression is proposed. First, we establishes emotional database include speech and facial expression. For different emotions, calm, happy, surprise, anger, sad, we extract ten speech parameters and use the PCA method to detect the speech emotion. Then we analyze the bimodal emotion detection of fusing facial expression information. The experiment results show that the emotion recognition rate with bimodal fusion is about 6 percent points higher than the recognition rate with only speech prosodic features

In the last couple of years emotion recognition has proven its significance in the area of artificial intelligence and man machine communication. Emotion recognition can be done using speech and image (facial expression), this paper deals with SER (speech emotion recognition) only. For emotion recognition emotional speech database is essential. In this paper we have proposed emotional database which is developed in Gujarati language, one of the official’s language of India. The proposed speech corpus bifurcate six emotional states as: sadness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, happiness. To observe effect of different emotions, analysis of proposed Gujarati speech database is carried out using efficient speech parameters like pitch, energy and MFCC using MATLAB Software.

AbstractEmotion recognition through facial expression and non-verbal speech represents an important area in affective computing. They have been extensively studied from classical feature extraction techniques to more recent deep learning approaches. However, most of these approaches face two major challenges: (1) robustness—in the face of degradation such as noise, can a model still make correct predictions? and (2) cross-dataset generalisation—when a model is trained on one dataset, can it be used to make inference on another dataset?. To directly address these challenges, we first propose the application of a spiking neural network (SNN) in predicting emotional states based on facial expression and speech data, then investigate, and compare their accuracy when facing data degradation or unseen new input. We evaluate our approach on third-party, publicly available datasets and compare to the state-of-the-art techniques. Our approach demonstrates robustness to noise, where it achieves an accuracy of 56.2% for facial expression recognition (FER) compared to 22.64% and 14.10% for CNN and SVM, respectively, when input images are degraded with the noise intensity of 0.5, and the highest accuracy of 74.3% for speech emotion recognition (SER) compared to 21.95% of CNN and 14.75% for SVM when audio white noise is applied. For generalisation, our approach achieves consistently high accuracy of 89% for FER and 70% for SER in cross-dataset evaluation and suggests that it can learn more effective feature representations, which lead to good generalisation of facial features and vocal characteristics across subjects.

In this paper we studied speech emotion recognition from Mandarin speech signal. Five basic emotion classes and the neutral state are considered. In a listening experiment we verified the speech corpus using a judgment matrix. Acoustic parameters including short-term energy, pitch contour, and formants are extracted from emotional speech signal. Gaussian mixture model is then adopted for training the emotion model. Due to the data challenge in GMM training, we use multiple discriminant analysis for feature optimization and compared with basic Fisher discriminant ratio based method. The experimental results show that using multiple discriminant analysis our GMM classifier gives a promising recognition rate for Mandarin speech emotion recognition.

Feature extraction is a very important part in speech emotion recognition, and in allusion to feature extraction in speech emotion recognition problems, this paper proposed a new method of feature extraction, using DBNs in DNN to extract emotional features in speech signal automatically. By training a 5 layers depth DBNs, to extract speech emotion feature and incorporate multiple consecutive frames to form a high dimensional feature. The features after training in DBNs were the input of nonlinear SVM classifier, and finally speech emotion recognition multiple classifier system was achieved. The speech emotion recognition rate of the system reached 86.5%, which was 7% higher than the original method.

Speech Emotion Recognition

Speech emotion recognition is becoming more and more important in such computer application fields as health care, children education, etc. In order to improve the prediction performance or providing faster and more cost-effective recognition system, an attribute selection is often carried out beforehand to select the important attributes from the input attribute sets. However, it is time-consuming for traditional feature selection method used in speech emotion recognition to determine an optimum or suboptimum feature subset. Rough set theory offers an alternative, formal and methodology that can be employed to reduce the dimensionality of data. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Rough Set Theory in identifying important features in speech emotion recognition system. The experiments on CLDC emotion speech database clearly show this approach can reduce the calculation cost while retaining a suitable high recognition rate.
