Abstract(in English) ecently, there have been many studies on emotion estimation from non-linguistic speech data, but few studies on emotion intensity.However, failure to read this emotional intensity can lead to errors in the responses humans and machines should take when communicating with each other. In this paper, we developed three models for emotion intensity estimation using deep learning, and examined the accuracy of emotion intensity estimation for Japanese speech corpus, which resulted in 52.4% accuracy of emotion intensity estimation. We also investigated the correlations between acoustic features and analyzed the properties of acoustic features in order to improve the estimation accuracy, and found that the differentiation of gammatone frequency cepstral coefficients was significantly different between intensities.
