چکیده

This paper concerns the problem of the effect of emotion change on human and machine for speaker identification. A contrasting experiment is carried out between Automatic Speaker Identification (ASI) system (applying GMM-UBM and Emotional Factor Analysis (EFA) algorithm)and aural system on emotional speech corpus MASC. The experimental result is similar to that in channel-mismatched condition, i.e. the ASI system is much better than the single listener, especially when emotion compensation algorithm EFA is applied. Meanwhile, fusion of multiple listeners can significantly improve the aural system performance by 23.86% and outperform the ASI system.

Speaker Recognition in an Emotional Environment

The goal of this paper is to assess the effect of emotional state of a speaker when text-independent speaker identification is performed. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients are the features of the speech signal used for speaker recognition. For training the speaker models and testing the system, Support Vector Machines are employed. Berlin emotional speech database, which contains 10 different...

Recognizing the Emotional State Changes in Human Utterance by a Learning Statistical Method based on Gaussian Mixture Model

Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....

Speaker Identification in Emotional Environments

The performance of speaker identification is almost perfect in the neutral environment. However, the performance is significantly deteriorated in emotional environments. In this work, three different and separate models have been used, tested and compared to identify speakers in each of the neutral and emotional environments (completely two separate environments). Our emotional environments in ...

Probabilistic speaker identification with dual penalized logistic regression machine

This paper investigates a probabilistic speaker identification method based on the dual Penalized Logistic Regression Machines (dPLRMs). The machines employ kernel functions which map an acoustic feature space to a higher dimensional space as is the case with the Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Nonlinearity in discriminating each speaker is implicitly handled in this space. While SVMs maximize ...

Employing both gender and emotion cues to enhance speaker identification performance in emotional talking environments

Speaker recognition performance in emotional talking environments is not as high as it is in neutral talking environments. This work focuses on proposing, implementing, and evaluating a new approach to enhance the performance in emotional talking environments. The new proposed approach is based on identifying the unknown speaker using both his/her gender and emotion cues. Both Hidden Markov Mod...
