Antibacterial Activity Testing Methods for Hydrophobic Patterned Surfaces
(Nature, 2021-03-23)
One strategy to decrease the incidence of hospital-acquired infections is to avoid the survival of pathogens in the environment by the development of surfaces with antimicrobial activity. To study the antibacterial behaviour ...
Perceptual borderline for balancing multi-class spontaneous emotional data
(IEEE, 2021-04-07)
Speech is a behavioural biometric signal that can provide important information to understand the human intends as well as their emotional status. The paper is centered on the speech-based identification of the seniors’s ...
Detection of Sarcasm and Nastiness: New Resources for Spanish Language
(Springer, 2018-06-29)
The main goal of this work is to provide the cognitive computing community with valuable resources to analyze and simulate the intentionality and/or emotions embedded in the language employed in social media. Specifically, ...
User-Aware Dialogue Management Policies over Attributed Bi-Automata
(Springer, 2018-07-30)
Designing dialogue policies that take user behavior into account is complicated due to user vari- ability and behavioral uncertainty. Attributed Prob- abilistic Finite State Bi-Automata (A-PFSBA) have proven to be a promising ...
Regularized Neural User Model for Goal-Oriented Spoken Dialogue Systems
(Springer, 2018-08-02)
User simulation is widely used to generate artificial dialogues in order to train statistical spoken dialogue systems and perform evaluations. This paper presents a neural network approach for user modeling that exploits ...
The EMPATHIC Project: Mid-term Achievements
(ACM Digital Library, 2019-08-18)
The goal of active aging is to promote changes in the elderly community so as to maintain an active, independent and socially-engaged lifestyle. Technological advancements currently provide the necessary tools to foster ...
Tracking the Expression of Annoyance in Call Centers
(Springer, 2018-08-26)
Machine learning researchers have dealt with the identification of emo- tional cues from speech since it is research domain showing a large number of po- tential applications. Many acoustic parameters have been analyzed ...
Adding dimensional features for emotion recognition on speech
(IEEE, 2020-10-20)
Developing accurate emotion recognition systems requires extracting suitable features of these emotions. In this paper, we propose an original approach of parameters extraction based on the strong, theoretical and empirical, ...
Contrasting the Emotions identified in Spanish TV debates and in Human-Machine Interactions
(ISCA, 2020-03-24)
This work is aimed to contrast the similarities and differences for the emotions identified in two very different scenarios: human-to-human interaction on Spanish TV debates and human-machine interaction with a virtual ...
