In this dissertation the practical speech emotion recognition technology is studied, including several cognitive related emotion types, namely fidgetiness, confidence and tiredness. The high quality of naturalistic emotional speech data is…
The task of sentiment modification requires reversing the sentiment of the input and preserving the sentiment-independent content. However, aligned sentences with the same content but different sentiments are usually unavailable. Due to the…
Temporal context is key to the recognition of expressions of emotion. Existing methods, that rely on recurrent or self-attention models to enforce temporal consistency, work on the feature level, ignoring the task-specific temporal…
Speech emotion recognition (SER) in naturalistic conditions presents a significant challenge for the speech processing community. Challenges include disagreement in labeling among annotators and imbalanced data distributions. This paper…
Speech emotion recognition is a challenging research topic that plays a critical role in human-computer interaction. Multimodal inputs further improve the performance as more emotional information is used. However, existing studies learn…
Automatic emotion recognition is a hot topic with a wide range of applications. Much work has been done in the area of automatic emotion recognition in recent years. The focus has been mainly on using the characteristics of a person such as…
Empathy, as defined in behavioral sciences, expresses the ability of human beings to recognize, understand and react to emotions, attitudes and beliefs of others. The lack of an operational definition of empathy makes it difficult to…
Speech Emotion Captioning (SEC) has emerged as a notable research direction. The inherent complexity of emotional content in human speech makes it challenging for traditional discrete classification methods to provide an adequate…
This work presents iMiGUE-Speech, an extension of the iMiGUE dataset that provides a spontaneous affective corpus for studying emotional and affective states. The new release focuses on speech and enriches the original dataset with…
Emotion recognition from speech is one of the key steps towards emotional intelligence in advanced human-machine interaction. Identifying emotions in human speech requires learning features that are robust and discriminative across diverse…
Idiomatic expressions are an integral part of natural language and constantly being added to a language. Owing to their non-compositionality and their ability to take on a figurative or literal meaning depending on the sentential context,…
Emotion recognition in multi-speaker conversations faces significant challenges due to speaker ambiguity and severe class imbalance. We propose a novel framework that addresses these issues through three key innovations: (1) a speaker…
Speech emotion recognition is the task of recognizing the speaker's emotional state given a recording of their utterance. While most of the current approaches focus on inferring emotion from isolated utterances, we argue that this is not…
When recognizing emotions from speech, we encounter two common problems: how to optimally capture emotion-relevant information from the speech signal and how to best quantify or categorize the noisy subjective emotion labels.…
Speech emotion recognition (SER), particularly for naturally expressed emotions, remains a challenging computational task. Key challenges include the inherent subjectivity in emotion annotation and the imbalanced distribution of emotion…
Emotion recognition and sentiment analysis are pivotal tasks in speech and language processing, particularly in real-world scenarios involving multi-party, conversational data. This paper presents a multimodal approach to tackle these…
Humans express their emotions via facial expressions, voice intonation and word choices. To infer the nature of the underlying emotion, recognition models may use a single modality, such as vision, audio, and text, or a combination of…
Different from the emotion recognition in individual utterances, we propose a multimodal learning framework using relation and dependencies among the utterances for conversational emotion analysis. The attention mechanism is applied to the…
In this paper, we are interested in exploiting textual and acoustic data of an utterance for the speech emotion classification task. The baseline approach models the information from audio and text independently using two deep neural…
Previous work on emotion recognition demonstrated a synergistic effect of combining several modalities such as auditory, visual, and transcribed text to estimate the affective state of a speaker. Among these, the linguistic modality is…
