Subject: Book Anouncement: Computational Paralinguistics From: Bjoern Schuller <schuller@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 08:58:49 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_401366d9e88e47daa0d2763dd12402e4BADWLRZSWHBT1adsmwnde_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear List, Hoping it may be of interest to some of you, let us announce a new book tha= t is now available focussing entirely on Computational Paralinguistics: Bj=F6rn Schuller, Anton Batliner Computational Paralinguistics: Emotion, Affect and Personality in Speech an= d Language Processing Wiley, ISBN: 978-1-119-97136-8, 344 pages, November 2013 Description - This book presents the methods, tools and techniques that are currently b= eing used to recognise (automatically) the affect, emotion, personality and= everything else beyond linguistics ('paralinguistics') expressed by or emb= edded in human speech and language. - It is the first book to provide such a systematic survey of paralinguisti= cs in speech and language processing. The technology described has evolved = mainly from automatic speech and speaker recognition and processing, but al= so takes into account recent developments within speech signal processing, = machine intelligence and data mining. - Moreover, the book offers a hands-on approach by integrating actual data = sets, software, and open-source utilities which will make the book invaluab= le as a teaching tool and similarly useful for those professionals already = in the field. Key features: - Provides an integrated presentation of basic research (in phonetics/lingu= istics and humanities) with state-of-the-art engineering approaches for spe= ech signal processing and machine intelligence. - Explains the history and state of the art of all of the sub-fields which = contribute to the topic of computational paralinguistics. - Covers the signal processing and machine learning aspects of the actual c= omputational modelling of emotion and personality and explains the detectio= n process from corpus collection to feature extraction and from model testi= ng to system integration. - Details aspects of real-world system integration including distribution, = weakly supervised learning and confidence measures. - Outlines machine learning approaches including static, dynamic and contex= t-sensitive algorithms for classification and regression. - Includes a tutorial on freely available toolkits, such as the open-source= 'openEAR' toolkit for emotion and affect recognition co-developed by one o= f the authors, and a listing of standard databases and feature sets used in= the field to allow for immediate experimentation enabling the reader to bu= ild an emotion detection model on an existing corpus.
