Online human textual interaction often carries important emotional meanings inaccessible to computers. We propose an approach to textual emotion recognition in the context of computer-mediated communication. The proposed recognition approach works at the sentence level and uses the standard Ekman emotion classification. It is grounded in a refined keyword-spotting method that employs: a WordNet-based word lexicon, a lexicon of emoticons, common abbreviations and colloquialisms, and a set of heuristic rules. The approach is implemented through the Synesketch software system. Synesketch is published as a free, open source software library. Several Synesketch-based applications presented in the paper, such as the the emotional visual chat, stress the practical value of the approach. Finally, the evaluation of the proposed emotion recognition algorithm shows high accuracy and promising results for future research and applications.

Latent Timbre Synthesis Audio-based variational auto-encoders for music composition and sound design applications

Kivanc Tatar, Daniel Bisig, Philippe Pasquier

Summary: The research introduces a new audio synthesis method called Latent Timbre Synthesis, which uses deep learning to interpolate and extrapolate between the timbre of multiple sounds in the latent space of audio frames. It compares two Variational Autoencoder architectures and provides an open-source application for practitioners to generate timbres.
