speech emotion can add more information to speech in comparison to available textual information. however, it will also lead to some problems in speech recognition process. in a previous study, we depicted the substantial changes of speech parameters caused by speech emotion. therefore, in order to improve emotional speech recognition rate, in a first step, the effects of emotion on speech par...

language and emotion are two related systems in use, in that one system (emotions) impacts the performance of the other (language). both of them share their functionality in communication. since the nature of foreign language classrooms is ideally interactional, emotional intelligence (ei) gains importance. the aim of this study was to find out whether one's total emotional quotient and its com...

setup of an emotion recognition or emotional speech recognition system is directly related to how emotion changes the speech features. in this research, the influence of emotion on the anger and happiness was evaluated and the results were compared with the neutral speech. so the pitch frequency and the first three formant frequencies were used. the experimental results showed that there are lo...

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....

this paper reports on a behavioral study that explores the role of culture and gender in the recognition of emotional speech in an under investigated cultural context (a collectivist society: i.e., iran). participants were asked to recognize the emotional prosody of a set of validated emotional vocal portrayals (including the five basic emotions). findings of the experiment were then compared w...

One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...

Abstract   Recent developments in robotics automation have motivated researchers to improve the efficiency of interactive systems by making a natural man-machine interaction. Since speech is the most popular method of communication, recognizing human emotions from speech signal becomes a challenging research topic known as Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). In this study, we propose a Persian em...
