Abstract
Abstract:- Understanding human emotions and their nonverbal messages is one of the most necessary and important skills for making the next generation of human-computer interfaces (HCI) easier, more natural and effective. Indeed, the first step toward an automatic emotion sensitive human-computer system having the ability to automatically detect users ’ nonverbal signals is the development of an accurate and real-time automatic NVC analyzer. Such an analyzer must deal mainly with users ’ facial expressions and paralanguage. The main goal of this paper is to compare different methods to combine the results of both classifiers. A prototype of the dialog system was developed in the Department of Computer Science. The proposed system is fully automatic, user-independent and real-time working. Several experiments show that the speech recognition quality is increased by using nonverbal information.
