Emotional Speech Analysis using Artificial Neural Networks

In the present text, we deal with the problem of classification of speech emotion. Problems of speech processing are addressed through the use of artificial neural networks (ANN). The results can be use for two research projects - for prosody modelling and for analysis of disordered speech. The first ANN topology discussed is the multilayer neural network (MLNN) with the BPG learning algorithm, while the supervised SOM (SSOM) are the second ANN topology. Our aim is to verify the various of knowledge from phonetics and ANN but also to try to classify speech signals which are described by musical theory. Finally, one solution is given for this problem which is supplemented with a proof.
