Research on multilingual speech emotion recognition faces the problem that most available speech corpora differ from each other in important ways, such as annotation methods or interaction scenarios. These inconsistencies complicate…

Due to the complex nature of human emotions and the diversity of emotion representation methods in humans, emotion recognition is a challenging field. In this research, three input modalities, namely text, audio (speech), and video, are…

Emotions are experienced and expressed differently across the world. In order to use Large Language Models (LMs) for multilingual tasks that require emotional sensitivity, LMs must reflect this cultural variation in emotion. In this study,…

This paper focuses on finding suitable features to robustly recognize emotions and evaluate customer satisfaction from speech in real acoustic scenarios. The classification of emotions is based on standard and well-known corpora and the…

We investigate cross-lingual sentiment analysis, which has attracted significant attention due to its applications in various areas including market research, politics and social sciences. In particular, we introduce a sentiment analysis…

Current approaches to cross-lingual sentiment analysis try to leverage the wealth of labeled English data using bilingual lexicons, bilingual vector space embeddings, or machine translation systems. Here we show that it is possible to use a…

This paper explores the design of an aspect-based sentiment analysis system using large language models (LLMs) for real-world use. We focus on quadruple opinion extraction -- identifying aspect categories, sentiment polarity, targets, and…

There are two paradigms of emotion representation, categorical labeling and dimensional description in continuous space. Therefore, the emotion recognition task can be treated as a classification or regression. The main aim of this study is…

Emotions lie on a broad continuum and treating emotions as a discrete number of classes limits the ability of a model to capture the nuances in the continuum. The challenge is how to describe the nuances of emotions and how to enable a…

This paper aims to synthesize the target speaker's speech with desired speaking style and emotion by transferring the style and emotion from reference speech recorded by other speakers. We address this challenging problem with a two-stage…

Every speech signal carries implicit information about the emotions, which can be extracted by speech processing methods. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for extracting features that are independent from the spoken language and the…

In this paper, we explore the use of pre-trained language models to learn sentiment information of written texts for speech sentiment analysis. First, we investigate how useful a pre-trained language model would be in a 2-step pipeline…

Multimodal emotion recognition in conversations aims to infer utterance-level emotions by jointly modeling textual, acoustic, and visual cues within context. Despite recent progress, key challenges remain, including redundant cross-modal…

Voice disorders affect patients profoundly, and acoustic tools can potentially measure voice function objectively. Nonetheless, existing tools are limited to analysing voices displaying near periodicity, and do not account for inherent…

In this paper, we propose a multi-label classification framework to detect multiple speaking styles in a speech sample. Unlike previous studies that have primarily focused on identifying a single target style, our framework effectively…

Consider a time series of measurements of the state of an evolving system, x(t), where x has two or more components. This paper shows how to perform nonlinear blind source separation; i.e., how to determine if these signals are equal to…

Imbalanced data commonly exists in real world, espacially in sentiment-related corpus, making it difficult to train a classifier to distinguish latent sentiment in text data. We observe that humans often express transitional emotion between…

There are a variety of features of the human voice that can be classified as pitch, timbre, loudness, and vocal tone. It is observed in numerous incidents that human expresses their feelings using different vocal qualities when they are…

Speech emotion recognition (SER) has traditionally relied on categorical or dimensional labels. However, this technique is limited in representing both the diversity and interpretability of emotions. To overcome this limitation, we focus on…

In recent years, emotional text-to-speech has shown considerable progress. However, it requires a large amount of labeled data, which is not easily accessible. Even if it is possible to acquire an emotional speech dataset, there is still a…
