Abstract:
As computer technology develops, spoken dialogue is becoming ever-more
important when interacting with a wide variety of technological devices,
including Personal Digital Assistants, tablet PCs, and mobile phones. Using
speech leads to more natural and user-friendly interfaces. More
specifically, the authors of this volume contend that the experience of
talking to our computerized gadgets may be greatly improved by dynamically
adapting the system's dialogue interaction style to the user's profile and
emotional status.
In this book, a novel approach that combines speech-based emotion
recognition with adaptive human-computer dialogue modeling is described.
With the robust recognition of emotions from speech signals as their goal,
the authors analyze the effectiveness of using a plain emotion recognizer,
a speech-emotion recognizer combining speech and emotion recognition, and
multiple speech-emotion recognizers at the same time. The semi-stochastic
dialogue model employed relates user emotion management to the
corresponding dialogue interaction history and allows the device to adapt
itself to the context, including altering the stylistic realization of its
speech.
This comprehensive volume begins by introducing spoken language dialogue
systems and providing an overview of human emotions, theories,
categorization and emotional speech. It moves on to cover the adaptive
semi-stochastic dialogue model and the basic concepts of speech-emotion
recognition. Finally, the authors show how speech-emotion recognizers can
be optimized, and how an adaptive dialogue manager can be implemented. The
book, with its novel methods to perform robust speech-based emotion
recognition at low complexity, will be of interest to a variety of readers
involved in human-computer interaction.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your

EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
