Feature Extraction and Selection in Speech Emotion Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a hot research topic in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). In this paper, we recognize three emotional states: happy, sad and neutral. The explored features include: energy, pitch, linear predictive spectrum coding (LPCC), Mel-frequency spectrum coefficients (MFCC), and Mel-energy spectrum dynamic coefficients (MEDC). A German Corpus (Berlin Database of Emotional Speech) and our self-built Chinese emotional databases are used for training the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Finally results for different combination of the features and on different databases are compared and explained. The overall experimental results reveal that the feature combination of MFCC+MEDC+ Energy has the highest accuracy rate on both Chinese emotional database(91.3%) and Berlin emotional database (95.1%).

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...
