Abstract
To reduce the error rate when classifying emotions from an acoustical speech input (SI) only, it is suggested to include a process of speaker identification to obtain certain speaker identification data (SID) on the basis of which the process of recognizing an emotional state is adapted and/or configured. In particular, speaker-specific feature extractors (FE) and/or emotion classifiers (EC) are selected based on said speaker identification data (SID).
