394kB PDF file)Phonetic Segmentation of the GEMEP-Corpus: Applying Forced Alignment on Emotional Speech
- Hannes Pirker
- This report documents the efforts of applying MFCC based Hidden Markov
Models for the task of phonetic segmentation of emotional
speech.
The samples of emotional speech were taken from the
Geneva Multimodal Emotion Portrayals (GEMEP) corpus. This
multimodal corpus of acted emotional utterances provides data with
highly uniform and controlled lexical content, and thus offers a
promising basis for further systematic studies, especially on the
acoustic properties of emotional speech as well as on the temporal
relationship between speech, gestures and facial expressions. The
phonetic segmentation on the level of phonemes described in this
report offers a solid basis for all kinds of further investigations
of temporal properties of multimodal emotional data.
The report provides a description of the technical lay-out of the
automatic alignment procedure, observations on peculiarities of the
data and an evaluation of the obtained quality of the segmentation.
