Abstract

We investigate, for the first time, if applying model selectionbased on automatic language identification (LID) can improvemultilingual recognition of emotion in speech. Six emotionalspeech corpora from three language families (Germanic, Romance,Sino-Tibetan) are evaluated. The emotions are representedby the quadrants in the arousal/valence plane, i. e., positive/negative arousal/valence. Four selection approaches forchoosing an optimal training set depending on the current languageare compared: within the same language family, acrosslanguage family, use of all available corpora, and selectionbased on the automatic LID. We found that, on average, theproposed LID approach for selecting training corpora is superiorto using all the available corpora when the spoken languageis not known.
