A machine-learning approach for understanding vocal emotion from prosody

Abstract: We collected more than 500 utterances from adults talking to their infants. We automatically classified 65% of the strongest utterances correctly as approval, attentional bids, or prohibition. We used several pitch and formant measures, and a multidimensional Gaussian mixture-model discriminator to perform this task. As previous studies have shown, changes in pitch are an important cue for affective messages (Update)
