Abstract

This paper studied the emotion recognition system combined with robust speech recognition system in order to improve the performance of emotion recognition system. For this purpose, the effect of emotional variation on the speech recognition system and robust feature parameters of speech recognition system were studied using speech database containing various emotions. Final emotion recognition is processed using the input utterance and its emotional model according to the result of speech recognition. In the experiment, robust speech recognition system is HMM based speaker independent word recognizer using RASTA mel-cepstral coefficient and its derivatives and cepstral mean subtraction(CMS) as a signal bias removal. Experimental results showed that emotion recognizer combined with speech recognition system showed better performance than emotion recognizer alone.
