People on the autistic dimension often have great difficulty in understanding human engagement underlying paralinguistic signals and laughter. Our current work focusses on detecting different types of laughter to measure engagement.This report presents the results of a preliminary analysis of the sounds of laughs in a very large corpus of naturally-occurring conversational speech. Four types of laughter were categorized, and our goal is to enable children with autistic spectrum to classify these laughs. A teacher who specialises in Social Skill Training for children with autistic spectrum annotated these types of laughter manually, based on listening. We analyzed acoustic features of this annotation result, and greater than 58% classification accuracy was achieved by SVM statistical methods. |
