Classification of Complex Information: Inference of Co-Occurring Affective States from Their Expressions in Speech
<22> IEEE TPAMI is the leading journal in the field. The paper presents a new approach to the inference of affect in non-verbal aspects of speech. The system uses different metrics to make comparisons between pairs of affective conditions, and then combines these through a voting system. The framework is exceptionally flexible and the resulting system is the first to accommodate multiple states occurring simultaneously with high accuracy. It has inspired subsequent work on multi-modal approaches to affective inference as well as a real-time implementation and a commercial start-up company.
