Objective Human Affective Vocal Expression Detection And Automatic Classification With Stochastic Models And Learning Systems

Abstract

This paper presents a widespread analysis of affective vocal expression classification systems. In this study, state-of-the-art acoustic features are compared to two novel affective vocal prints for the detection of emotional states: the Hilbert-Huang-Hurst Coefficients (HHHC) and the vector of index of non-stationarity (INS). HHHC is here proposed as a nonlinear vocal source feature vector that represents the affective states according to their effects on the speech production mechanism. Emotional states are highlighted by the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based method, which exploits the non-stationarity of the affective acoustic variations. Hurst coefficients (closely related to the excitation source) are then estimated from the decomposition process to compose the feature vector. Additionally, the INS vector is introduced as dynamic information to the HHHC feature. The proposed features are evaluated in speech emotion classification experiments with three databases in German a
