The INTERSPEECH 2010 paralinguistic challenge

چکیده
Most paralinguistic analysis tasks are lacking agreed-upon evaluation procedures and comparability, in contrast to more ‘traditional’ disciplines in speech analysis. The INTERSPEECH 2010 Paralinguistic Challenge shall help overcome the usually low compatibility of results, by addressing three selected subchallenges. In the Age Sub-Challenge, the age of speakers has to be determined in four groups. In the Gender Sub-Challenge, a three-class classification task has to be solved and finally, the Affect Sub-Challenge asks for speakers’ interest in ordinal representation. This paper introduces the conditions, the Challenge corpora “aGender” and “TUM AVIC” and standard feature sets that may be used. Further, baseline results are given.

In this contribution to INTERSPEECH 2010 Paralinguistic Challenge we explore the capabilities of decision level fusion and ensemble based techniques for classification tasks on the provided AGENDER corpus. Ensemble members are generated by providing multiple feature sets generated by feature selection, and novel fusion methods (developed in order to give special support to under-represented cla...
متن کاملFuzzy support vector machines for age and gender classification
Support vector machine (SVM) has been proven as a powerful tool for solving age and gender classification problems. However, SVM is sensitive to noise and outliers. In this paper we propose a new fuzzy SVM based on an assumption that training data points should not be treated equally to avoid the problem of sensitivity to noise and outliers. This can be achieved by assigning a fuzzy membership ...

As automatic speech processing has matured, research attention has expanded to paralinguistic speech problems that aim to detect beyond-the-words information. This paper focuses on the identification of seven speaker trait categories from the Interspeech Speaker Trait Challenge: likeability, intelligibility, openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Our approach...
