VoiceUNL: A Semantic Representation of Emotions Within Universal Networking Language Formalism Based on a Dialogue Corpus Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper aims to propose a semantic representation of emotions for oral dialogues, based on an analysis of real-life conversations, telephone messages and recorded TV programmes, for the purposes of a speech to speech machine translation. Lexicon and phatics are one of important emotion eliciting factors as well as gestures, prosody and voice tone in oral dialogues. So, the semantic representation is made in a way where these factors are taken into account at the same time. Also, it’s done within Universal Networking Language (UNL) formalism, where UW (universal word) plays an important role.
