Incorporating Positive Speaker Profiles in Affective Human Computer Interaction (original) (raw)

25th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference (OzCHI 2013)

Abstract

Affective Human Computer Interaction (HCI) craves not only the adaptation of technical systems to specific users but also the capability of shaping positive interactions. In order to encourage interaction, the system must be able to invoke and re-establish positive-neutral emotions in users to accomplish the task of positive dialogue management. It is widely accepted that acoustical variations in music sequences have an impact on the emotional perception and on the listeners' emotion. However, investigations regarding the influence of voice variations on listeners' emotion or emotional perception are rare. The closest related research is conducted within emotional speech synthesis, where the perception of emotionally coloured synthesized speech is investigated to determine the naturalness of synthesized emotional speech. A possible explanation for the absence of results on the influence of acoustical parameter variations on emotional perception and dialogue evolvement is the...
