Teaching Computers to Hear Emotions

Dem@Care is also developing approaches for speech processing and mood detection...

So, originally, this research was started to help psychologists do a better job of analyzing interactions between humans, between a husband and a wife, or between parents and a child, to determine the emotional content in those interactions. And so rather than having to record everything that’s said, we wanted to figure out if it’s possible to just look at how it’s being said and look at the features and determine what emotions are being displayed, so it gives us a little bit of privacy. So it cuts down on storage, it cuts down on transmission, and it can save power, and then finally, as you note, this allows the computation to be much faster than in other approaches that use whole segments of speech or use other methods, such as people have looked at video to do facial recognition or other types of inputs to try and detect emotions. So we can do it relatively quickly.
