This study investigates the talking face generation method to convert a speaker’s video to give a target impression, such as “favorable” or “considerate”. Such an impression conversion method needs to consider the input speech semantics because they affect the impression of a speaker’s video along w…
We propose a method for next-speaker prediction, a task to predict who speaks in the next turn among multiple current listeners, in multi-party video conversation. Previous studies used non-verbal features, such as head movements and gaze behavior, for next-speaker prediction in face-to-face convers…
This paper proposes a general post-processing method for improving speaker-attribute estimation. Estimating speaker-specific attributes such as age and gender is an important task with a wide range of applications. While the recent proposed deep neural network-based end-to-end approach achieves high…
This paper presents a novel emotion classification method for natural speech. One of the problems in the state-of-the-art method based on Deep Neural Network (DNN) is the paucity of the training data compared to model complexity. To solve this problem, this paper utilizes the ambiguous emotional utt…
