Speech/laughter classification in meeting audio
In this paper, harmonicity information is incorporated into acoustic features to detect laughter segments and speech segments. We implement our system using HMM (Hidden Markov Models) classifier trained on Pitch and Harmonic Frequency Scale based subband filters (PHFS). Harmonicity of the signal can be determined by variation of the pitch and harmonics. The cascaded subband filters are used to ...
متن کاملLaughter modulation: from speech to speech-laugh
Laughing while speaking, also referred to as speech-laugh, occurs frequently in social conversations. In order to understand how laughter influences the acoustics of its co-occurring speech signal, we take a synthesis approach in designing an interactive system for artificial “laughter modulation”: users input an arbitrary speech signal, and the system processes the signal to yield acoustic pat...
متن کاملExploring sequences of speech and laughter activity using visualisations of conversations
In this study, we analysed laughter in dyadic conversational interaction. We attempted to categorise patterns of speaking and laughing activity in conversation in order to gain more insight into how speaking and laughing are timed and related to each other. Special attention was paid to a particular sequencing of speech and laughter activity that is intended to invite an interlocutor to laugh (...
متن کاملClassification of social laughter in natural conversational speech
We report progress towards developing a sensor module that categorizes types of laughter for application in dialogue systems r social-skills training situations. The module will also function as a component to measure discourse engagement in natural onversational speech. This paper presents the results of an analysis into the sounds of human laughter in a very large corpus of aturally occurring...
متن کاملAutomatic discrimination between laughter and speech
Emotions can be recognized by audible paralinguistic cues in speech. By detecting these paralinguistic cues that can consist of laughter, a trembling voice, coughs, changes in the intonation contour etc., information about the speaker’s state and emotion can be revealed. This paper describes the development of a gender-independent laugh detector with the aim to enable automatic emotion recognit...
