Abstract
An emotion recognition system for assessing human emotional behavior from communication by a speaker includes a processing system configured to receive signals representative of the verbal and/or non-verbal communication. The processing system derives signal features from the received signals. The processing system is further configured to implement at least one intermediate mapping between the signal features and one or more elements of an emotional ontology in order to perform an emotion recognition decision. The emotional ontology provides a gradient representation of the human emotional behavior.
