Abstract

The problem of inferring human emotional state automatically from speech has become one of the central problems in Man Machine Interaction (MMI). Though Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were used in several worksfor emotion recognition from speech, the potential of using probabilistic SVMs for this task is not explored. The emphasis of the current work is on how to use probabilistic SVMs for the efficient recognition of emotions from speech. Emotional speech corpuses for two Dravidian languages- Telugu & Tamil- were constructed for assessing the recognition accuracy of Probabilistic SVMs. Recognition accuracy of the proposed model is analyzed using both Telugu and Tamil emotional speech corpuses and compared with three of the existing works. Experimental results indicated that the proposed model is significantly better compared with the existing methods.
