Information Technology in an Improved Supervised Locally Linear Embedding for Recognizing Speech Emotion

Article Preview

Abstract:

To improve effectively the performance on speech emotion recognition, it is needed to perform nonlinear dimensionality reduction for speech feature data lying on a nonlinear manifold embedded in high-dimensional acoustic space. This paper proposes an improved SLLE algorithm, which enhances the discriminating power of low-dimensional embedded data and possesses the optimal generalization ability. The proposed algorithm is used to conduct nonlinear dimensionality reduction for 48-dimensional speech emotional feature data including prosody so as to recognize three emotions including anger, joy and neutral. Experimental results on the natural speech emotional database demonstrate that the proposed algorithm obtains the highest accuracy of 90.97% with only less 9 embedded features, making 11.64% improvement over SLLE algorithm.
