Book Synopsis Robust Feature Learning for Acoustic Emotion Recognition by : Rui Xia
Download or read book Robust Feature Learning for Acoustic Emotion Recognition written by Rui Xia and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With increasing needs and developments of human-computer interaction systems, building robust systems to let computers understand humans' mood has become one of the essential components. Automatic emotion recognition/detection is necessary for machines to explore humans' emotional expressions. This dissertation focuses on learning robust features for building acoustic emotion recognition systems.We first investigate extracting features from frame-level based features. We adopt the ivector space modeling method to extract high-level features. Furthermore, based on i-vector space modeling, we develop the novel framework to generate multiple i-vector feature sets associated with emotion classes. The i-vector feature sets yield competitive performance with supra-segmental level based features, and the performance improves using a decision combination of the frame level based system and supra-segmental level based system. Second, based on supra-segmental level features, we apply deep learning techniques to extract high-level emotional feature representations. We propose a framework based on the neural network structure to project the original feature space into two different feature representations, and extract the one with more emotional cues as new features. In addition, we propose to model genders individually in the neural network structure in order to alleviate the gender variability to improve emotion recognition performance. Furthermore, we utilize multi-task learning by considering continuous dimensional information to improve categorical emotion recognition. Finally, we develop a novel framework using Deep Belief Network (DBN) in the paradigm of i-vector space modeling approach. This framework can combine the advantages of the two approaches. The DBN is discriminatively trained using reference labels automatically generated by the universal background model (UBM) and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). The i-vector feature set obtained from this proposed method outperforms the traditional i-vector extracting framework. We believe a robust feature set is very important in emotion recognition systems. This dissertation will contribute to a general approach to learn a high-level rich emotional feature representation, which can advance the performance of current emotion recognition systems.

Book Synopsis Towards Adaptive Spoken Dialog Systems by : Alexander Schmitt
Download or read book Towards Adaptive Spoken Dialog Systems written by Alexander Schmitt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Monitoring Adaptive Spoken Dialog Systems, authors Alexander Schmitt and Wolfgang Minker investigate statistical approaches that allow for recognition of negative dialog patterns in Spoken Dialog Systems (SDS). The presented stochastic methods allow a flexible, portable and accurate use. Beginning with the foundations of machine learning and pattern recognition, this monograph examines how frequently users show negative emotions in spoken dialog systems and develop novel approaches to speech-based emotion recognition using hybrid approach to model emotions. The authors make use of statistical methods based on acoustic, linguistic and contextual features to examine the relationship between the interaction flow and the occurrence of emotions using non-acted recordings several thousand real users from commercial and non-commercial SDS. Additionally, the authors present novel statistical methods that spot problems within a dialog based on interaction patterns. The approaches enable future SDS to offer more natural and robust interactions. This work provides insights, lessons and inspiration for future research and development, not only for spoken dialog systems, but for data-driven approaches to human-machine interaction in general.
Book Synopsis Modeling and Predicting Affect in Audio Signals by : Pauline Mouawad
Download or read book Modeling and Predicting Affect in Audio Signals written by Pauline Mouawad and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present thesis describes a multidisciplinary research project on emotion recognition in sounds, covering psychological theories, acoustic-based signal analysis, machine learning and chaotic dynamics.In our social interactions and relationships, we rely greatly on the communication of information and on our perception of the messages transmitted. In fact communication happens when signals transmit information between a source and a destination. The signal can be verbal,and the information is then carried by sound patterns, such as words. In non verbal vocal communication however, information can be perceptual patterns that convey affective cues,that we sense and appraise in the form of intentions, attitudes, moods and emotions.The prevalence of the affective component can be seen in human computer interactions(HCI) where the development of automated applications that understand and express emotions has become crucial. Such systems need to be meaningful and friendly to the end user, so thatour interaction with them becomes a positive experience. Although the automatic recognition of emotions in sounds has received increased attention in recent years, it is still a young fieldof research. Not only does it contribute to Affective Computing in general, but it also provides insight into the significance of sounds in our daily life.In this thesis the problem of affect recognition is addressed from a dual perspective: we start by taking a standard approach of acoustic-based signal analysis, where we survey and experiment with existing features to determine their role in emotion communication. Then,we turn to chaotic dynamics and time series symbolization, to understand the role of the inherent dynamics of sounds in affective expressiveness. We conduct our studies in the context of nonverbal sounds, namely voice, music and environmental sounds.From a human listening point of view, an annotation task is conducted to build a ground truth of nonverbal singing voices, labelled with categorical descriptions of the two-dimensional model of affect. Two types of sounds are included in the study: vocal and glottal.From a psychological perspective, the present research addresses a debate that is of long standing among scientists and psychologists, concerning the common origins of music and voice.The question is addressed from an acoustic-based analysis as well as a nonlinear dynamics approach.From a modeling viewpoint, this work proposes a novel nonlinear dynamics approach for the recognition of affect in sound, based on chaotic dynamics and adaptive time series symbolization.Throughout this thesis, key contrasts in the expressiveness of affect are illustrated among the different types of sounds, through the analysis of acoustic properties, nonlinear dynamics metrics and predictions performances. Finally from a progressive perspective, we suggest that future works investigate features that are motivated by cognitive studies. We also suggest to examine to what extent our features reflect cognitive processes. Additionally we recommend that our dynamic features be tested inlarge scale ER studies through the participation in ER challenges, with an aim to verify if they gain consensus.

This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of research studies on the modeling of emotions in complex autonomous systems. Several experts in the field are reporting their efforts and reviewing the literature in order to shed lights on how the processes of coding and decoding emotional states took place in humans, which are the physiological, physical, and psychological variables involved, invent new mathematical models and algorithms to describe them, and motivate these investigations in the light of observable societal changes and needs, such as the aging population and the cost of health care services. The consequences are the implementation of emotionally and socially believable machines, acting as helpers into domestic spheres, where emotions drive behaviors and actions. The contents of the book are highly multidisciplinary since the modeling of emotions in robotic socially believable systems requires a holistic perspective on topics coming from different research domains such as computer science, engineering, sociology, psychology, linguistic, and information communication. The book is of interest both to experts and students since last research works on a so complex multidisciplinary topic are described in a neat and didactical scientific language.
