Popis: In this paper, we tackle the problem of identifying emotions from speech by using features derived from spectrogram patterns. Towards this goal, we create a spectrogram for each speech signal. Produced spectrograms are divided into non-overlapping partitions based on different frequency ranges. After performing a discretization operation on each partition, we mine partition-specific patterns that discriminate an emotion from all other emotions. A classifier is then trained with features obtained from the extracted patterns. Our experimental evaluations indicate that the spectrogram-based patterns outperform the standard set of acoustic features. It is also shown that the results can further be improved with the increasing number of spectrogram partitions.
