Vocal bursts play an important role in communicating affect, making them valuable for improving speech emotion recognition. Here, we present our approach for classifying vocal bursts and predicting their emotional significance in the ACII…
The ACII Affective Vocal Bursts Workshop & Competition is focused on understanding multiple affective dimensions of vocal bursts: laughs, gasps, cries, screams, and many other non-linguistic vocalizations central to the expression of…
The ACII Affective Vocal Bursts (A-VB) competition introduces a new topic in affective computing, which is understanding emotional expression using the non-verbal sound of humans. We are familiar with emotion recognition via verbal vocal or…
The technical report presents our emotion recognition pipeline for high-dimensional emotion task (A-VB High) in The ACII Affective Vocal Bursts (A-VB) 2022 Workshop \& Competition. Our proposed method contains three stages. Firstly, we…
This is the Proceedings of the ACII Affective Vocal Bursts Workshop and Competition (A-VB). A-VB was a workshop-based challenge that introduces the problem of understanding emotional expression in vocal bursts -- a wide range of non-verbal…
This report provides a brief description of our proposed solution for the Vocal Burst Type classification task of the ACII 2022 Affective Vocal Bursts (A-VB) Competition. We experimented with two approaches as part of our solution for the…
Affective speech analysis is an ongoing topic of research. A relatively new problem in this field is the analysis of vocal bursts, which are nonverbal vocalisations such as laughs or sighs. Current state-of-the-art approaches to address…
The studies of predicting affective states from human voices have relied heavily on speech. This study, indeed, explores the recognition of humans' affective state from their vocal burst, a short non-verbal vocalization. Borrowing the idea…
We present an emotion recognition system for nonverbal vocalizations (NVs) submitted to the ExVo Few-Shot track of the ICML Expressive Vocalizations Competition 2022. The proposed method uses self-supervised learning (SSL) models to extract…
Dimensional representations of speech emotions such as the arousal-valence (AV) representation provide a continuous and fine-grained description and control than their categorical counterparts. They have wide applications in tasks such as…
As speech-interfaces are getting richer and widespread, speech emotion recognition promises more attractive applications. In the continuous emotion recognition (CER) problem, tracking changes across affective states is an important and…
Human affective recognition is an important factor in human-computer interaction. However, the method development with in-the-wild data is not yet accurate enough for practical usage. In this paper, we introduce the affective recognition…
Automatic speech emotion recognition (SER) by a computer is a critical component for more natural human-machine interaction. As in human-human interaction, the capability to perceive emotion correctly is essential to take further steps in a…
As voice assistants (VAs) become increasingly integrated into daily life, the need for emotion-aware systems that can recognize and respond appropriately to user emotions has grown. While significant progress has been made in speech emotion…
Emotional expressions are the behaviors that communicate our emotional state or attitude to others. They are expressed through verbal and non-verbal communication. Complex human behavior can be understood by studying physical features from…
Current computational-emotion research has focused on applying acoustic properties to analyze how emotions are perceived mathematically or used in natural language processing machine learning models. While recent interest has focused on…
Multimodal affective computing, learning to recognize and interpret human affects and subjective information from multiple data sources, is still challenging because: (i) it is hard to extract informative features to represent human affects…
Model comparison is the cornerstone of theoretical progress in psychological research. Common practice overwhelmingly relies on tools that evaluate competing models by balancing in-sample descriptive adequacy against model flexibility, with…
Traditional pet emotion recognition from vocalizations, based on discrete classification, struggles with ambiguity and capturing intensity variations. We propose a continuous Valence-Arousal (VA) model that represents emotions in a…
Emotion recognition in conversations is challenging due to the multi-modal nature of the emotion expression. We propose a hierarchical cross-attention model (HCAM) approach to multi-modal emotion recognition using a combination of recurrent…
