Emotion and Mood Recognition Speech Recognition and Synthesis Speech and Audio Processing

Abstract

This article describes the first emotional corpus, named EMOVO, applicable to Italian language,.It is a database built from the voices of up to 6 actors who played 14 sentences simulating 6 emotional states (disgust, fear, anger, joy, surprise, sadness) plus the neutral state.These emotions are the well-known Big Six found in most of the literature related to emotional speech.The recordings were made with professional equipment in the Fondazione Ugo Bordoni laboratories.The paper also describes a subjective validation test of the corpus, based on emotion-discrimination of two sentences carried out by two different groups of 24 listeners.The test was successful because it yielded an overall recognition accuracy of 80%.It is observed that emotions less easy to recognize are joy and disgust, whereas the most easy to detect are anger, sadness and the neutral state.
