Emojis are paralinguistic elements that used in computer-mediated communication to express emotions, convey tone, or simply depict objects statements. This study examines how the (excessive) use of emojis affects knowledge, message credibility, and source trustworthiness. To this end, we conducted three online experiments using social media posts, which systematically varied number message. The...

Speaker state recognition is a challenging problem due to speaker and context variability. Intoxication detection is an important area of paralinguistic speech research with potential real-world applications. In this work, we build upon a base set of various static acoustic features by proposing the combination of several different methods for this learning task. The methods include extracting ...

This study employed content analysis to investigate the attributes of comments on official movie weblogs (blogs), and the possible influences of these attributes on the consumers or companies of the blog. The analysis of 1500 comments on official movie blogs indicated that subjective comments allow the blog companies to recognize consumer attitudes toward movies. Emotional comments positively i...

Conversation is like an intricate partner dance and behavioral convergence, or the similarity in observable behaviors of partners over time, can lead to shared understanding, changed beliefs and increased rapport.

This paper describes the collection and processing of a pilot speech corpus annotated in dialogue acts. The Mandarin Topic-oriented Conversational Corpus (MTCC) consists of annotated transcripts and sound files of conversations between two familiar persons. Particular features of spoken Mandarin, such as discourse particles and paralinguistic sounds, are taken into account in the orthographical...

The fuzzy logical model of perception (FLMP) has been successful in accounting for a variety of unimodal and multimodal aspects of speech perception. This same framework has been extended to account for the perception of emotion from the face and the voice. The FLMP accurately describes how perceivers evaluate and integrate these sources of information to determine the affect signaled by the ta...

The sensitivity analysis of atomic force microscope (AFM) based manipulation of gold spherical nanoparticles in air medium has been carried out in previous research works. In the AFM-based manipulations conducted in various biological liquid mediums, the new environmental parameters associated with these biological fluids also affect the dynamics of the manipulation process. Therefore in this r...
