System that recognises emotions in peoples’ voices – GizMag, Nov 2011
The system analyzes a total of 60 acoustic parameters of users’ voices, including tone, speed of speech, duration of pauses and energy of voice signal. After having identified a person’s mood and intentions, the system could then adapt the dialogue accordingly. If a user sounded doubtful of the system, for instance, it could offer them more help. If they sounded bored or angry, however, that offer might just irk them further. The Madrid/Granada scientists tested a prototype system on human test subjects, and found that it resulted in shorter, more successful conversations. Down the road, perhaps it might someday be combined with a system being developed at Binghamton University, that identifies computer users’ emotional states by looking at their faces.
