Abstract

This paper proposes an approach for speech emotion recognition based on the composite feature extraction. The traditional paralinguistic and prosodic features and the neurogram features are extracted and concatenated together to be the composite feature. The neural feature is presented by a computational model which outputs a series of responses of a speech's particular characteristic frequency through auditory nerve fiber. The exported responses signals are visualized as the 2D neurogram and then extracted as neural feature. With the extracted composite feature, support vector machines is used to classify the emotion. The eNTERFACE database is used and the various metrics are calculated to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves good performances under different conditions and performs better than the related work in terms of the various evaluation metrics.
