Classification of stress in speech using linear and nonlinear features
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, three systems for classification of stress in speech are proposed. The first system makes use of linear short time Log Frequency Power Coefficients (LFPC), the second employs Teager Energy Operator (TEO) based Nonlinear Frequency Domain LFPC features (NFD-LFPC) and the third uses TEO based Nonlinear Time Domain LFPC features (NTD-LFPC). The systems were tested using SUSAS (Speech Under Simulated and Actual Stress) database to categorize five stress conditions individually. Results show that, the system using LFPC gives the highest accuracy, followed by the system using NFD-LFPC features. While the system using NTD-LFPC features gives the worst performance. For the system using linear LFPC features, the average accuracy of 84% and the best accuracy of 95% were obtained in classifying five stress categories.

متن کاملMethods for stress classification: nonlinear TEO and linear speech based features
Speech production variations due to perceptually induced stress contribute signiicantly to reduced speech processing performance. One approach that can improve the robustness of speech processing (e.g., recognition) algorithms against stress is to formulate an objective classiication of speaker stress based upon the acoustic speech signal. In this paper , an overview of recent methods for stres...
