Abstract(in English) There are some researches about estimating emotion in speech. However, the predict rate is low. In order to improve the predict rate, we propose how to estimate emotion in speech using multi machine learning schemes. Our approach is based on the conventional approach in exists works. In the conventional approach, we collect speech data that a person speaks some phrases to express an emotion in first. Next, we make a classifier using a supervised machine-learning scheme. We use speech data as training data at this time. Although there are various expressions for one emotion, we operate same expression in the conventional approach. We think that this is one of the causes of low predict rate. In order to solve this cause, we subdivided speech data using an unsupervised machine learning scheme, like cluster analysis, before making a classifier. This is the unique point of our approach. After subdividing speech data, we make a classifier from speech data using a supervised machine-learning scheme, like a regression tree. We estimate emotion in speech using the classifier. Experimental results show that our approach is better than the conventional approach.
