So, computerized emotion recognition from speech is investigated by many researchers in the recent decades. In this paper, the effect of formant-related features on improving the performance of emotion detection systems is experimented. To do this, various forms and combinations of the first three formants are concatenated to a popular feature vector and Gaussian mixture models are used as classifiers. Experimental results show average recognition rate of 69% in four emotional states and noticeable performance improvement by adding only one formant-related parameter to feature vector. The architecture of hybrid emotion recognition/spotting is also proposed based on the developed models.  IS - 4 PB - OICC Press KW - Quadrotor, nonlinear control, Lyapunov Stability, Genetic Algorithm, Gain Tuning. ,, Emotion recognition, formants, Gaussian Mixture Model EN -
