The relation of emotions and intonation curves
Gavlasová, Radka ; Smékal, Zdeněk (referee) ; Tučková,, Jana (advisor)
This thesis deals with intonation curves and their relation to human emotions. Besides the theoretical part where you can learn about speech production, signal processing and psychological distribution of emotions, there is also a unique database recorded with the help of two professional actors. The main goal of this thesis is to classify created data using artificial neural networks into four classes. Those classes are anger, joy, boredom and sadness. The practical part was implemented in a programming platform called Matlab using Classification Learner app. Features used for this method were variations of fundamental frequency and MFCC. The results were compared with a listening survey so that it could be determined whether the results provided by neural network are relevant to some kind of a human factor. Success rate of the trained models reached 82 %, new data testing reached 75 %. Listening survey confirmed that the results correspond to the assumption of human perception. Better success rate would be accomplished by using a bigger set of higher quality data.
