• Arousal & Valence coordinator
• separate emotion process to sub emotions

• available databases:
• database collection:

• acted : GEneva multimodeal emotion portrayals (GEMEP)
• induced : eNTERFACE'05 EMOTION Database
• spontaneous: SEMAINE, AFEW

others: RML,VAM ,FAU AUBO,SAVEE,TUMAVIC,IEMOCAP,SEMAINE MHMC

• static vs dynamic modeling

STATIC:

• low level descriptors (LLDs) and functionals
• good for discriminate high and low-arousal emotions
• temporal information is lost, no suitable for long utterances, can not detect change in emotion

DYNAMIC:

• frame as the basis, LLDs are extracted and modeled by GMMs, HMMs, DTW
• temporal information is obtained
• difficult to model context well
• a large number of local features need to be extracted

• Unit choice for dynamic modeling

• technical unit: frame, time slice, equally-divided unit
• meaningful unit: word, syllable, phrases
• emotionally consistent unit: emotion profiles, emotograms
