Cognitive neuroscience could pave the way for emotionally intelligent robots

(Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) Humans are inherently emotional and to better understand them, robots need to recognize emotions from human speech. Due to the complexity of auditory perception models, however, emotion recognition is a challenging task. In a new study, researchers from Japan and China design a novel feature that captures temporal and contextual information and extracts temporal variation of emotion using a parallel neural network architecture, opening doors t...
