Multimodal Emogram, Data Collection and Presentation

There are several characteristics not optimally suited for the user state classification with Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) data like the nonuniform distribution of emotions in the utterances and the distribution of emotional utterances in speech, facial expression, and gesture. In particular, the fact that most of the data collected in the WOZ experiments are without any emotional expression gives rise to the problem of getting enough representative data for training the classifiers. Because of this problem we collected data in our own database. These data are also relevant for several demonstration sessions, where the functionality of the SmartKom system is shown in accordance with the defined use cases.
