Abstract

This study examines an emotion labeling method for a system utterance of a non-task-oriented spoken dialogue system. The conventional study proposed the cooperative emotion labeling, which generates an emotional speech with an emotion label estimated from user and system utterances. However, this method had a problem that the system cannot decide the emotion label when the emotion is not estimated from the linguistic information. Therefore, we propose a method that uses both the acoustic and the linguistic information for the emotion recognition. In this paper, we show the performance of the emotion recognition when using the acoustic features first. Then, a dialogue experiment based on scenarios is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed emotion labeling method.
