    Abstract

    In this paper we describe the acoustic emotion recognition
    system built at the Speech Technology Group of the Universidad
    Politecnica de Madrid (Spain) to participate in the INTERSPEECH
    2009 Emotion Challenge. Our proposal is based on
    the use of a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) to deal with
    the temporal modelling of the emotional speech information.
    The selected features (MFCC, F0, Energy and their variants) are
    modelled as different streams, and the F0 related ones are integrated
    under a Multi Space Distribution (MSD) framework, to
    properly model its dual nature (voiced/unvoiced). Experimental
    evaluation on the challenge test set, show a 67.06% and 38.24%
    of unweighted recall for the 2 and 5-classes tasks respectively.
    In the 2-class case, we achieve similar results compared with
    the baseline, with 8.5 times less features. In the 5-class case, we
    achieve a statistically significant 6.5% relative improvement.
