Summary :

As interaction between human and computer continues to develop to the most natural form possible, it becomes increasingly urgent to incorporate emotion in the equation. This paper describes a step toward extending the research on emotion recognition to Indonesian. The field continues to develop, yet exploration of the subject in Indonesian is still lacking. In particular, this paper highlights two contributions: (1) the construction of the first emotional audio-visual database in Indonesian, and (2) the first multimodal emotion recognizer in Indonesian, built from the aforementioned corpus. In constructing the corpus, we aim at natural emotions that are corresponding to real life occurrences. However, the collection of emotional corpora is notably labor intensive and expensive. To diminish the cost, we collect the emotional data from television programs recordings, eliminating the need of an elaborate recording set up and experienced participants. In particular, we choose television talk shows due to its natural conversational content, yielding spontaneous emotion occurrences. To cover a broad range of emotions, we collected three episodes in different genres: politics, humanity, and entertainment. In this paper, we report points of analysis of the data and annotations. The acquisition of the emotion corpus serves as a foundation in further research on emotion. Subsequently, in the experiment, we employ the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to model the emotions in the collected data. We perform multimodal emotion recognition utilizing the predictions of three modalities: acoustic, semantic, and visual. When compared to the unimodal result, in the multimodal feature combination, we attain identical accuracy for the arousal at 92.6%, and a significant improvement for the valence classification task at 93.8%. We hope to continue this work and move towards a finer-grain, more precise quantification of emotion.
